How Caritas Nigeria implements Emergency Response and Humanitarian Services

Caritas Nigeria is dedicated to responding promptly and effectively to humanitarian crises to save lives, alleviate suffering, protect the vulnerable, and strengthen community resilience against future disasters.

Our key strategies include:

  • Rapid Response: Partnering with various organizations and institutions to provide urgent humanitarian aid in a dignified, gender-sensitive, participatory, and accountable manner.
  • Comprehensive Interventions: Implementing multi-pronged initiatives such as food security, livelihoods, WASH services, nutritional support, health, protection, education, shelter, psychosocial support, economic strengthening, and resilience/social cohesion.
  • Improving Well-being: Addressing malnutrition among infants, children, pregnant women, and lactating mothers, boosting household food consumption scores, and implementing economic strengthening initiatives.
  • Community Resilience: Strengthening the resilience of communities in conflict-affected zones and their host communities. 

Caritas Nigeria’s efforts aim to enhance the well-being of vulnerable persons and households across Nigeria.
