“Today DINNødhjælp/ACAEDF Director and Leader David together with our Education Officer Bassey and Child Development Officer Orok saved the lives of these 3 beautiful children.
It’s been a very emotional day. We wanted to bring 4 children to safety at “Land of Hope” but one child was killed even before the team left our center.

But now I’m just so happy that David and our team were able to save: Idara, a 7-year-old girl accused of killing her father.
Nsidibe, 6 year old boy and his brother, Ezekiel, 5 years old. Accused of killing their mother.
