The global movement for victims of violent conflict and terrorism
Civitas Auxilium Foundation (CAF) trains people in the margins to advocate for themselves and connects them with resources to create sustainable livelihoods.
- 01 There are an estimated 3 million internally displaced persons (IDPs) as a result of violent conflicts and acts of terrorism in Nigeria.
- 02 There are about 1.5 million IDPs in various camps out of 1.9 million people displaced from their homes. 60% of the IDPs are children, with 1 out of 4 under the age of 5.
- 03 Many of the IDPs are women living in the most deplorable conditions without healthcare facilities, no adequate food, portable water, electricity, and sanitation and hygiene facilities.
- 04 CAF is raising $10,000 to empower 100 women (who have been victims of violent conflicts) in small trades by October 2023.
About us
In spite of being victims of terrorism and violent conflicts, women deserve to be economically and socially empowered not only to cater to their needs but to transform and empower other women. CAF’s concept of empowerment will involve awareness creation and capacity building that
leads to greater participation and decision-making power.
- We believe that beneficiaries will be able to determine their own agendas and build their self-confidence and ability to problem-solve and become self-reliant.
