Did You Know
We collect Nickels for Nigeria every fourth Sunday of the month. The mission is to help sustain an orphanage located in Jalingo, Nigeria.
Almost 100 children in Nigeria face futures that are more hopeful today because United Methodists in the Nebraska Conference committed several years ago to improve the lives of the poorest of the poor children in Africa.
The Jalingo UMC Orphanage (#3021070) in northeastern Nigeria is one result of a partnership formed in 1999 between the Nigeria Episcopal Area and the Nebraska Conference. It grew out of the United Methodist Council of Bishops' Hope for the Children of Africa initiative.
The orphanage in Jalingo, a city of about 118,000 people, opened in 2005 with 28 children who had lost their parents. Today it is home to 98 students, ranging in age from infant to 17 years old.
The residents came from far eastern Nigeria. Their parents likely died from one of the six most common causes of death in that region: snake bites, car accidents, malaria, HIV/AIDS, home accidents and liver disease. Other relatives became their guardians, but with limited resources, the children had little hope for a good education.
The orphanage is also a school, and many of these kids weren't able to go to school and didn't really get three meals a day. They get three really good meals a day (at Jalingo). They live in a family kind of atmosphere.
The younger Jalingo residents attend school at the orphanage, while the older residents go to a junior secondary school nearby.
