Background information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With 224 million inhabitants, Nigeria is the most populous country with the largest economy in Africa. However, the country faces countless challenges. The jihadist group Boko Haram, which operates mainly in the north-east, has been carrying out attacks on villages, towns and civilians since 2009, destroying houses, churches, schools, wells and fields, destroying crops, abducting and killing women, men and children. Those who can, flee. Around 12.5 million people in the large region around Lake Chad are affected by this crisis and need humanitarian aid. In Nigeria alone, more than three million people are on the run. Many displaced people are unable to return to their home villages even after years due to the insecurity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inter-ethnic and inter-religious violence and kidnappings for ransom are on the rise throughout Nigeria. Added to this is the ongoing conflict between herdsmen and farmers. Widespread poverty and unemployment, a low level of education and environmental problems are further challenges for the population. In this context, Mission 21 supports its local partner organizations and churches in Nigeria with projects in the areas of humanitarian aid, education and livelihood security as well as theological education, peacebuilding and combating gender-based violence (OSGBV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
