RADi is an organisation that assists internally displaced persons, indigent children, orphans and widows in Nigeria, to build productive lives to become thriving citizens. Support is provided to displaced or indigent persons, particularly children and young people, to enable them to attain, at minimum, a basic level of education. Assistance is also extended to the families of these children to ensure that the children grow up in a nurturing home, an environment conducive to learning and a peaceful community. Social initiatives such as cooperatives, sporting competitions and business seminars are pursued to promote dialogue, build trust and foster peace within the community.

We assist displaced or indigent persons in Nigeria to grow into positive and contributing members of their communities.
