Mar 26, 2023
The Ichwa IDP Camp in Benue State, Nigeria, is one of the many camps where FJDP is currently working in partnership with UNHCR. This camp now serves as a home for thousands of IDPs displaced from their ancestral homes. To offer protection services, FJDP has carried out activities aimed at safeguarding and supporting the well-being of these displaced children, promoting their psychosocial health and overall development.

The children participated in dance and various sports activities such as skipping, board games, and sack races, all under the guidance of FJDP staff. These activities are crucial in rebuilding the lives of these displaced persons, with women and children being the most affected.
Additionally, FJDP staff conducted the Engaging Men in Accountable Practices (EMAP) program, teaching men the essential practices needed to ensure the camp is free from all forms of violence against women and girls.
