About Us
Nkafamiya Rescue Mission (NRM) is an independent child rights organization committed to
supporting vulnerable and marginalized children and their communities to be free from
poverty. By actively connecting committed people with powerful ideas, we work together to
make positive, deep-rooted and lasting changes in children and young people’s lives.
NRM was founded in 2013 originally named Support Care to Victims of insurgents’, the aim
was to provide food, accommodation and education to children whose lives had been
disrupted by the Boko Haram attack in north east Nigeria.
NRM was registered with Corporate Affairs Commission (CAC) with registration number
CAC/IT/162160. Over the years our approach to humanitarian assistance has evolved from
conflict relief activities, to post-conflict support, to long-term community development and
emergency assistance that helps children, their families and their communities in north east
Nigeria.
