At Risk & In Need
In Nigeria, 17.5 million children are orphans or vulnerable children. Nigeria is a very resource-limited environment. One in ten households care for an orphan or vulnerable child. At the child level, M.O.M strives to meet their needs for shelter, education, nutrition, psycho-social support, and protection. At the household level, we encounter widows with little or nothing to live on, we educate care givers while improving the overall well-being for women in the local Owerri community.
