...building resilience in vulnerability
It is a Nigeria-based Non-Governmental Organisation registered to provide humanitarian services to victims of disasters through life-saving support initiatives. It was registered in 2019 with the aim of rekindling the hope of communities affected by disasters through behavioural change programmes based on practicable morally and culturally sound standards, while enhancing resilience against poverty-generating factors within communities.
We strongly believe and uphold the principles of "DO NO HARM" as we value human lives and their individual contributions to their respective communities while building respectful partnerships at all levels.
U-DIREF provides life-saving support services in the shelter, camp management, protection, environment, food, nutrition, logistics, water, sanitation, and hygiene while enhancing resilience through livelihood recovery programmes in post-crisis and transition settings.
