Most of the widows’ families used to have three meals a day when their husbands were alive. But now they are struggling to have one meal for the whole family. It is also difficult for them to find a job because most of them have a very little formal education.
The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) began collaborating with the Borno State Widows Association in 2013.
With the ICRC grant, Amina bought three sewing machines and now has her own tailoring centre. She is presently training two apprentices to become skilled tailors.
Widows wait for their turn to be registered at one of the ICRC food distribution centres in Maiduguri.
To facilitate the return to school of children who were forced to interrupt their education due to conflict, JRS Nigeria, with support from the European Union, carried out a campaign across the local government areas of Ngala, Dikwa and Monguno, Borno State.
In 2024, dramatic floods swept through Nigeria, affecting more than 1.2 million as of October 2024. The flooding, which is one of the most dramatic experienced by Nigeria destroyed numerous infrastructures and acres of farming land, forcing more than 400,000 people to flee their homes in search for safety. In the Northeast of Nigeria, the floods created a “crisis within a crisis”, affecting and displacing again some communities which were already displaced due to the decades-long insurgency that has been affecting that part of the country. IOM is providing comprehensive support to those most affected including displacement tracking and monitoring, non-food items, shelter, water, sanitation and hygiene. Psychosocial Mobile Teams (PMT) members were also deployed in the temporary sites hosting those displaced to provide psychological first aid and enable the most vulnerable persons deal with the trauma of displacement. IOM is also working with Federal, State, non-governmental actors and other partners to fast-track the release of funds through the Rapid Response Fund (RRF) mechanism and ensure that relief is provided, including in hard-to-reach areas.
