Help Nigeria in Crisis:Conflict, Hunger & Aid Cuts

When Help Starts Running Out

Hungry northern children line up for daily food

Dear Donors,

Thank you for remembering families in Northern Nigeria who are facing conflict, hunger and displacement.

For many families, life has become a daily struggle for food, clean water and medical care.

Violence has forced people from their homes and separated families from the farms, businesses and jobs they depended on. Rising food prices have made basic meals harder to afford, while cuts in humanitarian assistance have left fewer resources available for people already living through crisis.

For a mother caring for young children, an increase in the price of food is not just a number.

It can mean one less meal.

For an older person who needs medicine, reduced assistance can mean going without treatment.

For a displaced family, losing access to clean water can quickly become a health emergency.

Nearly 35 million people across Nigeria are expected to face acute food insecurity in 2026, according to the figures presented in this project.

Clarion Times Foundation plans to support families affected by this crisis with food, clean drinking water, healthcare, medicines and hygiene supplies.

Mobile healthcare teams will also reach communities and displacement camps where access to medical services is limited.

When families have nowhere else to turn, they need people who will remember them.

Thank you for standing with Nigerians facing hunger, displacement and hardship.

Please share this project with others who may be able to help.

With gratitude,

Sipho D. Mfanekiso

When the Need Grows but the Aid Is Shrinking

By Sipho D. Mfanekiso | Project Leader

A child with urgent nutritional food support

Dear Donors,

Across northern Nigeria, families are facing several emergencies at the same time.

Conflict continues to force people from their homes. Food prices remain difficult for families with little or no income. Children are facing malnutrition, communities are dealing with disease outbreaks, and humanitarian organizations are struggling to serve everyone who needs help.

What makes the situation even more worrying is that assistance is shrinking while the number of people needing help continues to rise.

In July 2026, the World Food Programme reported that more than 17 million people across nine conflict-affected states in northern Nigeria were experiencing crisis, emergency or catastrophic levels of hunger. This was almost two million more people than earlier projections. In Borno State alone, more than three million people were acutely food insecure.

Funding shortages are also affecting services that families once depended on. WFP reported that food assistance in some displacement camps had been suspended because of funding shortages. Across Nigeria, close to 35 million people are now facing acute food insecurity, while 2.3 million people remain displaced in the northeast.

Children are among those facing the greatest danger. UNICEF estimates that around 3 million children in Nigeria will require treatment for severe wasting in 2026. Funding reductions have also limited the ability of humanitarian organizations to provide treatment and other services through health facilities.

This is why we created Help Nigeria in Crisis: Conflict, Hunger & Aid Cuts. Through this project we plan to provide food, clean drinking water, medicines, healthcare, hygiene supplies and other relief to families affected by conflict and displacement. Mobile health teams are also planned for communities where reaching a health facility is difficult.

Priority will be given to people facing greater hardship, including children, pregnant women, older people and people living with disabilities.

If this appeal speaks to you, please share this project on social media and with your friends, family and colleagues. You can also become an individual fundraiser and invite people in your network to support families caught between conflict, hunger and declining humanitarian assistance.

When other sources of help are disappearing, a new helping hand can matter even more.

With gratitude,
Sipho D. Mfanekiso
