Mariam survived BOKO HARAM captivity but could not make a survivable living to support her two surviving siblings. “After BOKO HARAM terrorist took control of Maiduguri, the capital of the north-eastern state of Borno, their farm, property and agricultural tools were taken. The terrorist intentionally demolished their water wells and farms.
We encountered Mariam at the IDP Camp. NAAD knew that if Mariam had the tools to rebuild her life, she would build a brighter future for herself and siblings, that’s why we made sure Mariam enrolled herself and over 221 other victims like her with NAAD’S greenhouse initiative with the understanding that our grant will go a long way to rehabilitating her including the provision of greenhouses and farming materials.
“This programme will play a big role in changing my life and that of my siblings, it will certainly improve our situation. The prospect of getting a financial grant of almost 5 million Naira has given me great hope that our family income will grow for the future. I also hope that NAAD continue projects like this in our area because many survivors and widows need them.” Said Mariam.
