Access to clean water is a basic human right. In Adamawa state, we're working with UNOCHA Nigeria & #NHF to bring solar-powered water sources to communities—repairing old ones and building new ones. #Nigeria

Women facing gender-based violence don’t always know where to turn for help. In Nigeria, with the support of the OCHA-managed Humanitarian Fund, women-led organizations are helping survivors, raising awareness and building resilience. Here is Hafsat's story.
