The path to better nutrition runs through people, systems and communities. 🤝🌿

Our recent visit to Nasarawa offered a closer look at how the Project is connecting government systems, agriculture, women's empowerment, household practices and health services to improve nutrition and strengthen community resilience.

From women applying improved farming practices and strengthening their livelihoods, to families making healthier food choices and government systems working to improve nutrition services, the visit showed how these connections can turn nutrition commitments into action that reaches communities.

Recently, CARE Nigeria, under the Enhancing Resilience in Frontline Community Healthcare (EnRiCH) Project, in collaboration with Life Helpers Initiative (LHI), conducted a two-day training on the DreamSave digital savings platform in Katsina State.

The training marks a significant expansion of EnRiCH’s economic empowerment efforts, extending the Frontline Savings and Loans Association (FSLA) component to 5 new LGAs; Daura, Batagarawa, Sandamu, Ingawa and Funtua LGAs, reaching 45 new FLSA groups.

Through DreamSave, facilitators are being equipped to help frontline health workers and savings groups move from manual record keeping to more efficient digital management of their savings activities. The platform supports better record keeping, transaction tracking, and monitoring of group progress.
But the impact goes beyond financial records.

For health workers, digital savings tools like DreamSave can make it easier to manage savings, access loans, track financial activities, and build greater financial resilience. For the communities they serve, empowering health workers with both digital and financial tools strengthens their capacity to remain resilient and continue providing essential healthcare services to families.

They go where help is needed most. They should be able to come home safely.

This World Humanitarian Day, CARE Nigeria stands with humanitarian workers and the communities they serve.

Every field visit, every community outreach, every protection service and every delivery of assistance depend on people willing to step forward, often in difficult and dangerous environments.

But humanitarian workers are not targets.

This year's message is clear: “The time for concern is over. The time for consequence is now.”

It is not enough to express concern when aid workers are attacked. We must act to protect humanitarian workers and civilians, preserve safe access to communities and demand accountability when international humanitarian law is violated.

At CARE Nigeria, we honour everyone who keeps humanitarian action moving, including the people whose work often happens quietly behind the scenes.
Their safety is part of the safety of the assistance communities depend on.

Today, we remember those who have lost their lives, stand with their families and colleagues, and support those who continue to serve.

Protect the people who make humanitarian action possible. Protect those we serve. Every role matters. Every life matters.

Every girl deserves a future free from child marriage.
A future where she can stay in school, grow safely, make informed choices, and shape her own path.

Today, CARE is bringing together government, civil society, schools, communities, and other stakeholders for the Technical Inception Workshop of the Future Free from Child Marriage (FFCM) Project.
Implemented under CARE Global’s Give Girls a Chance (GGaC) programme, FFCM will contribute to national efforts to prevent and respond to Child, Early and Forced Marriage (CEFM) by addressing harmful social norms, strengthening girls’ access to education, and improving coordination among key actors.

Ending child marriage cannot be achieved by girls alone. It requires families, communities, government, civil society, schools, and partners working together to create an environment where girls can exercise their rights and realize their potential.

Together, we can build a future where every girl has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and choose her own path.

Empowering 1,100+ youths in Borno with skills for resilience and livelihoods. 💪🏽🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

Through the Lake Chad Inclusive Economic and Social Recovery Program ( *2), CARE Nigeria is supporting more than 1,100 trainees in Borno State with practical vocational skills and tools to build sustainable livelihoods.

In partnership with the Borno State Ministry of Education, Science, Technology and Innovation, which provided training centers, CARE Nigeria provided modern training equipment and consumables worth ₦39 million to the Borno State Vocational Enterprise Institute (BOSVEI) and the Second Chance Girls/Women Vocational Training Centre in Maiduguri.

The support includes industrial sewing machines, Starlink internet connectivity with a one-year subscription, and essential materials for trades including leather and shoe making, textile craft, perfume and incense making, tailoring, ICT, catering, electrical and solar installation, plumbing, welding, carpentry, beauty services and more.

Beyond acquiring skills, trainees are gaining practical tools and opportunities that can improve employability, support entrepreneurship and strengthen household resilience. *2 will also link interested trainees to platforms and opportunities for cross-border trade between Chad and Cameroon, opening pathways to wider markets and economic opportunities.

RESILAC*2 is co-funded by the French Development Agency (AFD) and the European Union (EU) and implemented by a consortium comprising Action Against Hunger (ACF), CARE, Groupe URD and national partners.

What does sustainable change look like on the ground?

From 4–5 August 2026, CARE West Central Africa’s Regional Directors and team visited Nasarawa State to see how the CASCADE Project is connecting policy, food systems, livelihoods and nutrition at the community level.

Across the two-day visit, the team engaged with:

Women lead farmers applying improved crop-production practices on their farms and gardens.

Government leaders and the State Committee on Food and Nutrition discussing nutrition governance, sustainability and opportunities to strengthen and scale interventions.

Women’s Village Savings and Loan Association (VSLA) groups building on existing community initiatives while strengthening knowledge around agriculture, nutrition and household wellbeing.

Agriculture students connecting classroom learning with practical experience.
Mothers, caregivers and health workers at Palele Primary Health Care Centre, where the team joined the 2026 World Breastfeeding Week activities.

The visit highlighted a simple but important lesson: better nutrition is not created by one intervention or one institution. It is built when policies, systems, communities and practical solutions work together.

At the heart of the visit was also a commitment to listen, to understand what communities are already doing, what is working, what barriers remain, and how partnerships can help take those efforts further.

This is what connecting people and policies looks like in practice.

CARE Nigeria launches Breastfeeding Corner at Palele PHC to support mothers in Nasarawa State

For many mothers, knowing the benefits of breastfeeding is only part of the journey. Having a safe space, the right information, and someone to turn to for support can make all the difference.

That is why CARE Nigeria, through the Project, launched a pilot Breastfeeding Corner at Palele Primary Healthcare Facility in Nasarawa State during this year's World Breastfeeding Week celebration.

Launching the corner, CARE's outgoing Regional Director for West and Central Africa, David Wright, said: "To further demonstrate our commitment to promoting breastfeeding and ensuring that mothers and babies have a good start to breastfeeding, we are launching the breastfeeding corner pilot at Palele Healthcare Facility."

The event brought mothers, fathers, community leaders, and health workers together. Mothers made pledges to practice exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months, while fathers and other family members demonstrated their commitment to supporting mothers.

There was also a practical demonstration of preparing nutritious complementary foods for children aged 6 to 23 months using locally available foods.

The new Breastfeeding Corner is more than just a physical space; it will provide the support, information, and privacy mothers need to give their children a healthier start in life.

Hundreds of chicks. One brooding unit. Zero margin for guesswork.

For Mother Brooding Unit operators, every batch of chicks represents an investment, and for the smallholder poultry farmers who depend on them, healthy chicks are the foundation of stronger livelihoods.

To strengthen these vital community enterprises, the CASCADE Project trained Mother Brooding Unit operators and Private Extension Service Providers from Nasarawa, Jigawa, Bauchi, and Kebbi States in both business management and poultry production.

Facilitated by El-Beth Agro-Veterinary Services Ltd., the two-day training covered cost-benefit analysis, financial record-keeping, branding and market positioning, alongside practical sessions on poultry health and brooding management.

Participants left with practical tools to strengthen their businesses, improve flock management, and provide farmers, particularly women, with a reliable supply of healthy chicks.

When local poultry enterprises thrive, farming families are better equipped to grow their incomes, strengthen household nutrition, and build resilience.

Stronger enterprises. Healthier flocks. More resilient communities.
