Why these causes matter

Conflict and climate shocks displace millions across Africa. We focus on Nigeria — relocation, shelter, essentials, and skills led by vetted local partners. At least 85% of donations fund field programmes.

1 in 10 people in Africa still live in extreme poverty and suffer severe trauma from violence and conflicts
2m+ people displaced in Nigeria alone by conflict, insecurity, and climate disasters
85% of every donation goes directly to life-changing project work on the ground

Understanding the crisis

Africa: insurgency, displacement & Nigeria spotlight

Security digest

Insecurity spans the Sahel, Lake Chad basin, the Horn, and beyond — but our programmes concentrate in Nigeria, where insurgency, banditry, and climate displacement affect millions. Explore the digest and programme pages for regional detail; this homepage stays focused on how you can help today.

2m+ people displaced in Nigeria by conflict, insecurity, and climate disasters
1.2m+ IDPs in the north-east corridor (Borno, Yobe, Adamawa)
85% of donations to field programmes — 15% governance & outreach

Featured focus

Lagos: classrooms renewed in slum communities

In Lagos slum communities, safe and dignified learning spaces matter as much as shelter and food. With local partners, we support classroom renovation and everyday school essentials so children can learn without overcrowded, unsafe rooms — and families can see practical hope in their own neighbourhoods.
