Life through self-sufficiency – Support our mission to defeat hunger

HIFA and DI Festus Imarhiagbe are working together to empower the people in the villages of Urulokpa and Lokpa in Nigeria to become self-sufficient through agriculture and small livestock husbandry. The concept aims for a circular economy and will enable people to feed themselves and their families. In March, the first steps of training were initiated. HIFA urgently appeals for support for this project.

School Uru Lokpaukwu – A new school in a village in the bush

The HIFA team was able to quickly and successfully implement the school project in Uru Lokpaukwu, and the school was able to open its doors in September. With the help of donations, the building was adapted and the equipment was purchased. The women of the village are very grateful for the quick help and welcomed the sisters at a small celebration. The school project was a much-needed help, and we appeal for further support to secure funding and continue to provide educational opportunities for the children in Uru Lokpaukwu.
