What Makes Us Unique

BRHO is proudly women-led, ensuring that the voices, perspectives, and leadership of women are central to humanitarian and development solutions. Our work is community-driven, rights-based, and inclusive, with a deliberate focus on those most often left behind.

 

Across Nigeria and Sudan, BRHO is not only a responder to crises but also a builder of resilience nurturing partnerships, championing dignity, and advancing durable solutions that create hope for a better future.

What we do

At BRHO, our work is driven by a commitment to protect people, restore dignity, and build long-term resilience in crisis-affected communities. Guided by humanitarian principles and local leadership, we provide direct assistance to save lives while also empowering communities to withstand future shocks.

 

Our interventions are structured around five key pillars, which together form a holistic approach to humanitarian response and sustainable development:

 

1. Site Management and Settlement

We work in displacement camps and host communities to ensure that internally displaced persons (IDPs), refugees, and returnees live in conditions that respect their dignity, safety, and rights.

 

2. Violence Prevention

BRHO is deeply committed to ensuring that people are protected from violence, exploitation, and abuse.

 

3. Environmental Rehabilitation

Recognizing the devastating impact of climate change and environmental degradation on already vulnerable populations, BRHO integrates climate action into humanitarian response.

 

4. Health and Well-Being

Good health is essential for recovery and resilience. BRHO provides life-saving health and psychosocial support to vulnerable populations.

 

5. Education 

Education is a lifeline in crises. BRHO ensures that children and youth have access to safe, inclusive, and quality learning opportunities even in displacement.

Where we work

BRHO operates in some of the most vulnerable and conflict-affected regions of West and Central Africa, with a growing cross-border presence. Our work spans Nigeria, Sudan, and Chad, focusing on communities uprooted by violence, displacement, and humanitarian crises.
