The growing level of violent attacks in Northern Nigeria has unavoidably led to the increase in the number of displaced persons, especially children nationwide.
Due to siege laid by extremist in northern Nigeria, well over a million Nigerians are displaced and live in IDP camps but for the children at TELA they will have an opportunity of a life time to accessing quality education. .
