Nigeria is Africa’s most populous nation—rich in culture, natural resources, and human potential. Yet despite its promise, millions of Nigerians continue to face staggering humanitarian challenges. From rural poverty and food insecurity to water shortages and conflict-induced displacement, the struggle for survival is a daily reality for countless families.

Widespread inequality, economic instability, and climate-driven disasters have left many without access to even the most basic necessities.

Key issues affecting vulnerable communities in Nigeria include:

• Water Scarcity: In rural and drought-affected regions, families often walk long distances for water that is unsafe to drink.

• Poverty and Food Insecurity: Millions are undernourished, especially children, due to high inflation and lack of sustainable livelihoods.

• Poor Access to Healthcare: Many Nigerians, particularly in rural and northern areas, lack access to basic healthcare and essential medicines.

• Displacement and Conflict: Armed conflict and banditry in certain states have displaced thousands, pushing families into extreme hardship.

• Limited Access to Education: Children in conflict-affected or poor regions often drop out of school due to insecurity, cost, or lack of access.

• Gender Inequality: Women and girls in many communities are disproportionately affected by poverty, early marriage, and limited opportunities.
