Acorn Initiative

We are a charity focused on helping grow communities who have been left displaced, distressed and desolated. Our works are mostly felt in the North Central Region of Nigeria, but especially around Benue State. We believe that every life should be valued and that everyone deserves basic human rights. It is with sadness that we say everyone does not share this belief. There are unfortunate communities who are left with nothing as a result of farmers and herdsmen clashes. Such event started in February 2016, and since then, these are the unbelievable consequences it has caused: Over 7M people displaced in Nigeria Over people displaced, and 288,450 children are currently trapped in Benue State. The ACORN Initiative not only sees the aftermath of such horrific events as unjustifiable, but sees the urgency in providing help to those severely affected by using our tailored programs like HIB, LIB, STB and WASH. “The conditions at the IDP camp our team visited in Benue State were far worse than anything I had seen in Iraq.” by William J.
