A Story of Survival from Mokwa, Niger State, Nigeria

When the floodwaters came rushing into Mokwa, Niger State, Blessing never imagined that in less than an hour, her entire world would be swept away. The devastating flood, caused by the overflow of the Kanji and Shiroro dams, claimed over 500 lives and destroyed property worth billions. Blessing and her family lost not only their home and possessions but also dear friends and relatives. They woke up one morning as proud residents of a thriving community and by nightfall, they were homeless, grieving, and unsure of tomorrow. Now, Blessing and her family live in an overcrowded temporary shelter, with little more than fading memories of the life they once knew. Hunger gnaws at them daily, clean water is scarce, and illness threatens to take root in the crowded camp.

The Bigger Picture……...Blessing’s story is heartbreaking but sadly, it is not unique.

In Africa, more than 60 million people are displaced by floods, droughts, and conflicts every year.

Nigeria alone records thousands of floods and conflict-related deaths and displacements annually, with children and women the most vulnerable.

The World Health Organization warns that disasters like these often trigger outbreaks of cholera, malaria, and acute malnutrition among displaced families.

Behind these statistics are real people like Blessing, mothers, fathers, and children whose dignity is being stripped away by forces beyond their control.
