Nigeria: Emergency Relief, Jos

Anglican Aid, in partnership with the Diocese of Jos, Nigeria, is working to provide urgent relief to Christians facing persecution.

In recent years, attacks in northern and central Nigeria have left many dead or displaced. Thousands have been killed, injured or kidnapped and houses and churches burned down. In these areas, Christians are often specifically targeted because of their faith.

Boko Haram and the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP), are both active in these areas and want to eliminate Christianity in Nigeria. Fulani Islamist Cattle Herders are also undertaking brutal attacks in this region. According to Open Doors, more Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than in the rest of the world combined.

The Diocese of Jos is providing displaced Christians with emergency supplies including maize, beans, roofing sheets, and agricultural equipment.

To stay up to date with the latest information from our Christian brothers and sisters in Northern Nigeria, sign up to Anglican Aid’s Persecuted Christians prayer letter.

This project is supported by Anglican Aid in partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn.

Also in partnership with the Anglican Diocese of Canberra & Goulburn, Anglican Aid is supporting the care and education of at-risk orphans and disadvantaged children at Zambiri School and the training of Christian community leaders who can provide gospel-driven leadership and hope at The Christian Institute.
