Staying Afloat
Vestiges Of Violence: Episode 123
Listen to this story
4 Apr 2025
You are a single mother of eight, raising your children in an IDP camp in Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory after fleeing a brutal attack by the Boko Haram terror group.
The makeshift school offers little hope for your children’s education, and your once-thriving food business barely keeps you afloat now. Aid is dwindling, and your needs keep growing.
How do you cope with the demolition threats to your camp, your son’s arrest, and the confiscation of bikes meant to provide income, when every attempt to build a better life feels futile?
