It takes a lot to restore war survivors physically and emotionally.

After barely surviving Boko Haram attacks, survivors are placed in Internally Displaced Camps which are been reported to be in terrible conditions.

Over the past few years, well-meaning Nigerians and NGOs have been helping to rehabilitate people living in the camps.
