URGENT FUNDRAISING – SUPPORT DISPLACED OWORONSHOKI FAMILIES

Over 700 families in Oworonshoki have lost their homes, their belongings, and their means of survival. Mothers are stranded, children are hungry, and many have nowhere left to sleep tonight.

We are calling on everyone—within Oworo, within Lagos, across Nigeria and all over the World—to stand with our people in this moment of deep pain.

Every contribution, no matter the amount, will provide food, temporary shelter, and urgent relief for affected families.

When a family loses everything, even the smallest act of love becomes a lifeline. Their world has been shattered, but your kindness can help them hold on to hope. Please don’t let them face this alone.
