The project will create jobs in construction, agriculture and community services, boosting Keffi’s economy while serving vulnerable populations.Establishing a Model for National Replication
As a pilot program, its success will guide similar initiatives across Nigeria, potentially benefiting millions of displaced citizens.

✔ Distributed 5,000+ nutritionally balanced food packs tailored for children, nursing mothers and the elderly
