Social Care: A Safety Net for the Vulnerable

Nigeria’s long‑standing tradition of families, faith groups and neighbours caring for the vulnerable is under immense strain. Today, more than 133 million Nigerians live in multidimensional poverty, and rising living costs have pushed many further into hardship. Millions of children are orphaned or living outside family care, older people struggle without pensions, and conflict has displaced entire communities across the north. For those already on the margins, a single crisis can erase what little stability remains.

Formal support systems are thin. Social workers are few, oversight of care homes is weak, and government cash transfers reach only a fraction of those who need them. As a result, children, older people, displaced families and survivors of abuse often face their challenges alone — without protection, counselling, shelter or basic necessities.

Donor investment can transform this reality. Supporting family‑based care, community fostering, emergency assistance, counselling, nutrition and livelihood recovery helps people regain stability at a fraction of the cost of long‑term institutional care. Effective social care protects dignity, strengthens families and prevents temporary hardship from becoming lifelong destitution. It also demonstrates practical models that government can adopt and scale.

Your generosity can keep a child safe within a family, help an older person live with dignity, or support a displaced mother rebuilding her life. You can restore hope where it is fading.
