Zainab (middle) & her husband, Bukar, moved from camp to camp in Maiduguri for 5 years. They were one of 100 families from Bama given homes by the Muhammadu Indimi Foundation. Zainab’s children will no longer fear the rain nor the sun.

Our food distribution, cash assistance & resettlement initiatives aim to sustain the most vulnerable displaced persons. With continued support, days in camp will be shorter & the future will be brighter.

On the 72nd birthday of Dr Muhammadu Indimi, OFR, His Excellency @MBuhari acknowledged the philanthropist's donations, scholarships, medical assistance & contributions to the FG’s Victims’ Support Fund (VSF) to enable casualties of Boko Haram insurgency regain their livelihood.
President Buhari @MBuhari : "Dr Indimi is a patriot, investing heavily in human capacity and promotion of the Nigerian brand to the global business community. His greatest impact on the economy has been his philanthropy."
Every child deserves access to the good things that nurture. More than 10,000 children have benefited from food relief initiatives in Maiduguri IDP camps. #ChildrensDay

35-year-old Halima in Buzu IDP camp is an entrepreneur. She sells charcoal for 200 naira (55 cents) to fend for her family of 10. The family had fled Mafa in October 2018. The Muhammadu Indimi Foundation met women like Halima during a needs assessment in Maiduguri IDP camps.
During the needs assessment, the Foundation's survey found that there are about 10 - 19 orphans in most camps. The teenage females marry while the younger orphans like 11-year-old Aisha roam the streets begging. On a lucky day, she & 9 others collectively get 50 naira (14 cents).
Today's out-of-school children can be the leaders of tomorrow. A little support can go that far. The #MuhammaduIndimiFoundation recognises the impact of support through scholarships, cash transfers, poverty reduction and skills training. #HumanCapital
What will the #HumanCapital Index measure?
✅Survival–Will kids born today survive to school age?
✅School–How much schooling will they complete, how much will they learn?
✅Health–Will they leave school in good health, ready to work?
