The Family International Nigeria

More on Vocation Development Initiatives
Many graduates from the Family Care vocational training courses have gone on to open their own small businesses, or have pursued additional studies in the subject, some at university level.
IT Training Center
When the construction of Abuja began thirty years ago, thousands of people seeking employment made up the labor force that built this city. In Nyanya, FCT (Federal Capital Territory), a labor camp was built to shelter these workers and their families.
Cereal Banking
We recently got involved with a “cereal bank” village program, which was the initiative of another local NGO. Cereal banking helps alleviate the serious food shortage in the months before harvest, caused by poor budgeting of food resources.
Jesus' Birthday Party
It was fun from beginning to end for 300 underprivileged children who attended our Fantasyland Christmas party.
Project Updates
Due to continued success and high attendance, Family Care Nigeria has expanded the Family Care IT/Computer Training Center for the handicapped in Enugu, southeastern Nigeria.
Educational Aid for Nomadic Schools
Our destination was a nomadic settlement school in the Niger Republic, West Africa. As the settlement wasn't easily accessible by vehicle, the best way to get there was the same way the locals do—by camel. So off we went, with the school supplies and food supplements tied securely to each saddle.
