The Social Justice and Human Development for Peace Initiative rehabilitated 13 houses for victims of the 2023 Christmas Eve attacks.
JDPC Coordinator, Benedicta Daber, stated that the project followed a NEEDS assessment conducted after the attacks in Waya-Mangor community.
Implemented by JDPC’s Emergency Preparedness and Response Team, the project received support from Mission 21, an international organization.

She assured residents that more homes would be rebuilt if additional funding becomes available and urged them to embrace peace.

Mission 21’s Country Director, Yakubu Joseph, represented by Boniface Kopdena, commended JDPC for utilizing provided funds efficiently and effectively.
Beneficiary Mapis Danladi expressed gratitude, urging individuals, organizations, and the government to support similar humanitarian initiatives in Nigeria.
