Many people have heard about Nigeria, while some are totally unaware of its existence. To those familiar with it, it is no surprise to know how wealthy it is on the African scale. But in northern Nigeria it is not the same. The communities have been paralyzed by more than ten years of insurgency and terrorist activities; consequently, so many children remain uneducated, are recruited into terrorist groups, or turn to the streets, begging for survival. It is because of this condition that HOPE came into existence.
Angela believes she has been called her to serve in Nigeria believing “This is why we were sent to Nigeria over 10 years ago.” A seed was planted and now we understand the plans for us. We know the people of Nigeria; we have a love for these people, and now we are caring for those that the world does not see. We are to stand in the gap and tell their stories so that this country and the people can find hope and healing.”
So now with devoted individuals with feet on the ground in Nigeria, Angela and fellow volunteers supporting efforts from across the world-
HOPE has assisted orphans and widow in numerous ways, especially in the provision of emergency food, blankets, and most importantly, education. We are actively serving by loving and serving the Nigerian people, especially the orphans and widows- “the least of these.”
