Integrated programmes that build resilience
Protection, nutrition, water and sanitation, legal aid, inclusion and emergency response, delivered with communities across North-East and North-West Nigeria.
How we work
Community ownership
Communities shape, lead and sustain every intervention, from WASH committees to lead mothers.
Locally available solutions
Tom Brown made from local grains, soap and pasta made in savings groups: solutions that stay.
Youth-led energy
A young team and volunteer network that moves fast and reaches the last mile.
The triple nexus
Humanitarian relief, development and peacebuilding, planned together so recovery lasts.
Safety, dignity and choice for women and girls
In conflict-affected areas where the dignity, safety and rights of women and girls are under threat, we run Women and Girls Safe Spaces, provide case management and psychosocial support, and engage men and boys to prevent violence.
- 71,590 people reached through GBV, child protection and mine-risk sessions (2025)
- 6 Women and Girls Safe Spaces across Borno and Zamfara
- 12,300+ women and girls received psychosocial support (2024)
- 220 GBV survivors supported through case management
- 150 local NGO staff and volunteers trained in survivor-centred approaches
Every child deserves to grow up strong
In Magumeri and Damboa we run outpatient therapeutic sites, treat severe and moderate acute malnutrition, and train lead mothers and father-to-father groups so good feeding practices spread from home to home. Our Tom Brown recipe uses grains families already know.
- 11,673 children screened through active case-finding (2025)
- New OTP sites in Mafa, Konduga and Magumeri (2025)
- 1,541 children with severe acute malnutrition treated (2024)
- 95% recovery in our moderate malnutrition programme
- 110 infant and young child feeding support groups
- 2,000+ caregivers counselled one-on-one every week
Clean water, safe toilets, healthy camps
We rehabilitate boreholes, build latrines and showers, train WASH committees to maintain them, and distribute hygiene kits, so displaced families and host communities stay safe from cholera and other waterborne diseases.
- Solar-powered motorised boreholes for IDPs and hosts in Shinkafi, Zamfara
- Non-functional boreholes rehabilitated in Monguno
- 120 latrine and shower stalls built in Gidan Gona IDP camp
- 2,300 hygiene kits distributed in Borno and Zamfara
- Water trucking and treatment tablets for flood-affected communities
A legal identity opens every other door
Since 2025 our Information, Counselling and Legal Assistance project in MMC and Gwoza helps displaced people secure birth certificates, national identity numbers and housing, land and property rights, working with BOGIS, NIMC and the National Population Commission.
- 6,433 people informed about legal identity and land rights (2025)
- 6,403 people given direct legal assistance for legal identity
- 2,041 people received specialised legal counselling
- 1,120 people helped with housing, land and property claims
Ready before, during and after a crisis
We respond to floods, camp fires and outbreaks with food, water, shelter items and cash, and we invest in anticipatory action so communities are protected before disaster strikes. With UNMAS we teach families and schools to recognise and report explosive ordnance.
- 9,000 people fed across five camps after the September 2024 floods
- Rapid needs assessment within 24 hours of the March 2024 camp fire
- 915 adults and 600 children reached with explosive ordnance risk education

Nobody left on the sidelines
We provide wheelchairs and tricycles, support savings groups for women and girls with disabilities, strengthen local organisations of persons with disabilities, and run radio dramas that challenge stigma. Skills like tailoring, soap and pasta making turn support into income.
- 11 local NGOs and disability organisations strengthened
- 10,000+ radio listeners reached with inclusion messages
- 10 savings groups for women and girls with disabilities
- 550 women and girls received livelihood support
