CSI’s Work
CSI is active in seven states of Nigeria. Working in collaboration with reliable partners on the ground, it seeks to provide medical assistance to victims of terrorist attacks, financial support to displaced persons, care for orphaned and marginalised children, and access to food and water for internally displaced persons.
In the city of Jos, CSI helps fund a refugee camp. At the end of June 2018, more than 200 people were killed in Fulani attacks on ten villages in the region of Jos. Numerous houses were burned down and entire villages were destroyed. (See video below)
