IDPs OUTREACH PROJECT
Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria
Many IDPs in Nigeria are having hard times.
They need your help
Many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria are having hard times. In the various IDP camps scattered throughout the country, the conditions of living really leave a lot to be desired.
Recently we visited the neglected and forgotten Kutara Tataradna, IDP Camp, Karu LGA, Nasarawa. The IDP camp in Masaka which houses over 500 people is about an hour drive off the major express way in Nasarawa state. KUTARA TATARADNA centre for Internally displaced People is neglected and lacked many essential amenities.

BACK TO SCHOOL PROJECT
Educational Empowerment, Nigeria
Millions of people lack basic education.
They need your help
According to UNICEF, many families cannot afford the associated costs of sending their children to school such as uniforms and textbooks. Even when children enrol in schools, many do not complete the primary cycle.
According to current data, 30% of pupils drop out of primary school and only 54% transit to Junior Secondary Schools. Reasons for this low completion rate include child labour, economic hardship and early marriage for girls.
Education has been recognized as a basic human right since the 1948 adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. A positive correlation exists between the enrollment of children in primary school and the gross national product and life expectancy. Because of this correlation, enrollment in schools represents the largest component of societal investment into human capital.
