2022 Nigeria Christmas Festival
We’re planning a huge Christmas festival for over 2,000 kids, single moms, and displaced families in the remote villages of Nigeria in Siri (Bauchi State). We’ll be partnering with KDI to throw a celebration including food for all, bounce houses, organized competitions, games, shows, and school supplies for each child. It’s run 100% by Nigerian volunteers who provide the first Christmas and gifts that some of these kids have ever had.
We’ve raised $5,245 so far! We need your help to finish strong.

KDI was founded by Isaiah Lengmang to support internally displaced people and vulnerable populations (single mothers and widows). A local population living in the confines of a remote village was identified. KDI leadership met tribal leaders and obtained approval to hold their first 2 day festival for the children of the village and surrounding area. 1,900 children receive gifts and food.

KDI expanded to provide a free medical clinic for a different community. And in partnership with a local optometrist, was able to provide free glasses and eye exams. Christmas Fest expanded with attendance soaring to 3,000 children.

The arrival of COVID shifted KDI to local response programs where 30 single mothers received aid grants during the initial lockdown
For Christmas, KDA adopted a local orphanage, Kingdom Kids. KDI volunteers came and served the kids and staff with cleaning, haircuts, and party on Christmas Day. Additionally, a cow was purchased along with pantry goods to provide 40 single moms with 3 months of supplies.
