Arc of Crisis: RISE and the UK Resettlement Response

In northeastern Nigeria, conflict and instability have left three out of 10 women and girls experiening of violence. The IRC and our partner the European Union run safe spaces where girls like 17-year-old Hauwa learn mindfulness techniques, helping them to manage stress and negative thoughts.

Thank you from all of us here at the IRC for generously supporting our work to help people whose lives have been shattered by conflict and disaster to survive, recover and rebuild.

Every minute conflict and disaster forces 20 people to flee their homes, often with mere seconds to make impossible choices about what to bring with them on a journey of unknown length to an unknown destination. We can never replace what was left behind, but your donations can help create a new beginning.
