LAGOS, NIGERIA\u2014One year ago, Boko Haram\u2019s abduction of more than 200 schoolgirls in Nigeria captured the attention of the world and provoked the #BringBackOurGirls viral campaign.<\/p>\n
On Monday April 13, UNICEF announced that Boko Haram has to date rendered a total of 800,000 children and their families homeless in Northern Nigeria.<\/p>\n
\u201cADRA is on the frontlines of this crisis,\u201d said Marie-Jo Guth, ADRA\u2019s Program Manager for Emergencies. \u201cOur colleagues at ADRA Nigeria are doing an amazing job by bringing life-saving food to families that have suffered the most brutal abuses from Boko Haram.\u201d<\/p>\n
ADRA is distributing food to about 1,500 internally displaced persons (IDPs), providing psychosocial support to 100 displaced children, has provided assistance to help mitigate diarrhea disease among 200 children under the age of five, and has given prenatal mentoring to 30 pregnant women in Kwana Waya Camp.<\/p>\n
Boko Haram has completely destroyed entire villages, causing millions to flee their homes in search of safety. The National Emergency Management Agency reported in March that there are 1.2 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Nigeria. The attacks have also prompted 203,000 Nigerians and stranded migrants to escape to neighboring countries. In Adamawa State Nigeria, where ADRA is working, there are nearly 218,000 IDPs.<\/p>\n
Our current work in Adamawa state has been difficult due to limited road access. ADRA staff has gone to great lengths, transporting themselves and materials by air and purchasing vehicles locally.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur team are deploying incredible efforts and demonstrating a great sense of dedication for their humanitarian mission,\u201d said Guth.<\/p>\n
