Challenges Faced by Displaced Families

The situation for displaced families, particularly women and children, is dire. Many families lack basic necessities and the opportunity for education. iBestTravel remains committed to restoring contact between separated family members and providing critical support to heal the wounds of conflict.

Children have been living with their mothers in an IDP camp in Yola for the past 8 months.
