Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria

In the aftermath of June 2025 violence in Yelewata and surrounding communities, UNICEF documented the displacement of over 3,000 people in Benue State and issued urgent warnings regarding heightened protection risks for women and children. Rapid assessments revealed high levels of psychosocial distress among displaced populations, highlighting the profound emotional and physical toll on the youngest victims.

For a child, displacement is not simply a change of address—it is the abrupt loss of everything familiar and comforting:

The dangers intensify when displacement is compounded by hunger, inadequate sanitation, and limited access to healthcare. The effects can be immediate and long-lasting, impacting children’s growth, education, and well-being.

Recognizing these urgent needs, the Feed Displaced Families in Benue, Nigeria project places a special focus on supporting children and vulnerable households. Our priority is to ensure that displaced children have consistent access to nutritious food, clean water, basic hygiene supplies, and essential support to safeguard their health and dignity.

No child should survive violence only to face hunger and deprivation. No mother should have to make impossible choices due to scarcity.

Your donation can transform this reality. It can put food into the hands of a displaced child, provide relief to a struggling mother, and offer hope to a family facing extraordinary hardship.

Please help us ensure that hunger is not the next adversity these children must endure. Together, we can make a difference.
