Reaching Out to Those Truly In Need
And let us not get tired of doing what is right, for after a while we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t get discouraged and give up. That’s why whenever we should always be kind to everyone, and especially to our Christian brothers. - Gal 6: 9-10

EMERGENCY INTERVENTION
Plateau State
In the summer of 2023, armed with machine guns and machetes, Fulani herdsmen ambushed over sixty peaceful villages located in the towns of Mangu and Barkin Ladi. Men, women, and children were senselessly attacked. Homes, schools, businesses, fields, and farms were ransacked, burned, and destroyed.
Over Three Hundred villagers died. Those who escaped were forcibly expelled from their ancestral homeland and are currently taking shelter in churches, schools, and makeshift camps. The children have lost access to schooling, and their mothers and fathers cannot return to work their land, or their businesses. Daily, they experience the crippling sorrow of the torment they endured.
Life for the peoples of Mangu and Barkin Ladi has been frozen in time, as we know it. They are now refugees in their very own homeland. Fresh Start Relief Network (our Nigerian branch) and affiliates have provided relief, but the needs in the camps are still quite overwhelming.
A Need For Sustainable Intervention
In the first months after any tragedy, a displaced community will experience a rush of sympathizers. Aid will pour in, but soon donor fatigue sets in. Help eventually trickles away, leaving many of the displaced families to struggle on their own.
Life in the IDP camps can be very challenging. The desperation to meet daily needs makes the women and young people very vulnerable. Children cannot get back to school and moral equity is seriously compromised. Scripture mandates the Church to take care of our brothers and sisters who have been persecuted. In a world marred by division and suffering, our acts of kindness and empathy are a beacon of hope and healing.
By extending a helping hand, offering comfort, and sharing resources, we will embody the very essence of Christ’s love. Let us remember that in acts of compassion, we become vessels of God’s grace, spreading love and light to those in need, thereby truly reflecting the teachings of Christ.
With your partnership, Fresh Start Alliance will cooperate with the communities to find lasting solutions to their pressing needs. They need our encouragement and prayers.
Chantal Village Massacre
Sarah* came to the medical outreach organized by Fresh Start Alliance in Mangu in August 2023. The nurses noticed that her blood pressure was extremely high and referred her to Dr Rebekah Ayodele who attended to her. This was her harrowing story.
The Chief and Elders of Changtal, her village were invited to a community meeting by the Ardo, (title of the Chief of the Fulani Herdsmen) living in the adjacent village.
The two communities had enjoyed relative peace for decades. This meeting was called to strengthen their relationship and to avert clashes between their communities. While the meeting was going on, they heard gunshots and screams coming from the direction of their village. Fulani herdsmen were attacking their village and killing their women and children while the meeting was going on. The flames of their burning houses were seen from the distance. They ran for their lives.
Many of them were ambushed and slaughtered. Sarah’s* husband was caught. His hands – both hands, were chopped off from the wrist and he was left to bleed to death. Sarah’s husband was undergoing treatment at the Jos Teaching Hospital when she came to the outreach.
Sarah is thirty-nine years old and has six young children. The village of Changtal is deserted and the indigenous landowners are now refugees in their homeland.
With her husband currently in the hospital and the horror of the event still so fresh in her mind, Sarah must figure out how to provide for herself and their six children. Many women at the camps have similar stories. Many in the IDP camps bear the scars of missing limbs, bullet wounds, and burns. They need physical and spiritual help and sustained counseling.
The incessant attacks by the Fulani herdsmen over the past twenty years has left Plateau State with over 35,000 widows. Some of the widows were newlyweds, some were first-time mothers; all hold within them insurmountable grief of the loss of their husbands and children. We can work together to rehabilitate them and give them a Fresh Start in life.
