BE A BLESSING
"I always wondered why somebody didn't do something about that. Then I realized I am somebody."
​
​About BE A BLESSING
BE A BLESSING is a project aimed at exposing individuals to seeing the needs and plight of Internally Displaced women and children from the North/ Eastern Region of Nigeria and as a result intentionally open their hearts to feel the need and move towards meeting the need no matter how small.

Vision
To inspire and motivate individuals towards engaging their passion to be the one who makes a difference by meeting the needs of women and children that are IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons).
Current Project
The aggressive terrorist attacks in the North/ East Region of Nigeria has left a large number of women and children widowed, orphaned and internally displaced. There exist over 300 children that are internally displaced. This project is meant to motivate individuals to contribute towards meeting the basic needs of three widows and 130 of the internally displaced children.
