When crisis strikes, we respond fast
Floods, fires, displacement and disease outbreaks. Our teams live where emergencies happen, so help arrives in days, not weeks.
Anticipate. Respond. Recover.
We plan for the next flood before the rains arrive, and we stay after the waters recede.
Anticipate
Early warning, anticipatory action and pre-positioned supplies. In Monguno we rehabilitated boreholes before flood and cholera season.
Respond
Rapid needs assessments, cooked meals, clean water, hygiene and dignity kits, and mobile malnutrition treatment within days.
Recover
Multi-purpose cash, assistive devices, psychosocial support and livelihoods that help families rebuild on their own terms.
Emergency response in numbers
Where we have stepped in
Fire at Fariya Gidan block IDP camp
A rapid needs assessment the day after the fire, followed by replenishment kits, water trucking, sanitary pads, soap, mats, buckets and jerry cans.
Maiduguri and Jere floods
Cooked meals and dry food for 9,000 people across five camps, including Yelwa, Teacher Village, Gonicachali and Muna, plus an emergency mobile treatment site for malnourished children.
Flood recovery in Goni Kachallari
Multi-purpose cash assistance, wheelchairs and psychosocial support so families like Zara’s could restart businesses and send children back to school.
Displacement in Shinkafi, Zamfara
Solar-powered boreholes and hygiene kits for displaced people and host communities, with USAID through IOM’s Rapid Response Fund.
Anticipatory cash in Adamawa
Through the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund anticipatory action framework, 1,113 households in Yola North and Yola South received cash before flood losses escalated, to buy food, repair homes and protect livelihoods.
I had lost hope. But FRAD showed me I wasn’t alone.
