"We can now prevent our children from dying from malnutrition...."

This testimony from one of the many caregivers supported by Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI highlights the power of knowledge and practical tools in the fight against malnutrition. By equipping caregivers with the skills to detect and respond to malnutrition early, we are helping save children's lives and giving them a healthier future.

For many families in Zulum Camp, Ngala LGA, access to essential healthcare items can make all the difference.

To support safer childbirth, distributed delivery kits to expectant mothers, equipping them with basic supplies needed during labour and delivery.

Recognising the importance of leaving no one behind, we also distributed Long-Lasting Insecticidal Nets (LLINs) to persons with disabilities, helping to reduce their risk of malaria.

This effort reflects our commitment to improving maternal health while protecting vulnerable groups from preventable diseases.

Happy New Month from all of us at Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI

Menstruation is natural. Shame, stigma, and silence should never be.

This World Menstrual Hygiene Day, Life At Best Development Initiative (LABDI) joins the global call to ensure that every girl and woman can manage her menstruation safely, confidently, and with dignity.

Across many vulnerable communities, countless girls still miss school, withdraw from daily activities, or face health risks simply because they lack access to menstrual products, clean water, accurate information, and supportive environments. Menstrual hygiene is not just a health issue, it is a matter of dignity, education, protection, and equal opportunity.

At Life At Best Development Initiative (LABDI), we remain committed to promoting menstrual health awareness, improving access to hygiene support, and creating safe spaces where girls and women are empowered to thrive without fear, shame, or discrimination.

Together, let us build a where no girl’s dreams are interrupted by her period.

In these times, many families carry quiet worries in their hearts, longing for a world where every child can learn, play, and grow in safety, dignity, and peace.

Today serves as a gentle reminder that every child deserves protection, care, love, and the freedom to simply be a child.

As we mark this occasion, Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI stands with parents, caregivers, teachers, and communities whose daily efforts continue to nurture courage and hope in the lives of children, even in uncertain moments.

May we all continue to build communities where children feel safe, valued, heard, and empowered to dream without fear.

Happy Children’s Day.

As we celebrate Eid al-Adha, Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI extends its warmest greetings and heartfelt wishes to all our partners, supporters, beneficiaries, and communities.

Eid al-Adha reminds us of the timeless values of sacrifice, compassion, generosity, and unwavering faith. It is a season that calls us to strengthen the bonds of humanity, extend kindness to those in need, and renew our commitment to peace and collective wellbeing.

At Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI, we remain inspired by these values as we continue working alongside vulnerable communities to restore hope, dignity, and resilience across Northeast Nigeria and beyond.

May this blessed occasion bring peace to our hearts, healing to our communities, and prosperity to every home. May the spirit of sacrifice and compassion continue to guide us toward a more just, united, and humane society.

Eid Mubarak!

"I was always worried about finding solutions for my child, Halima, who was severely malnourished.
But now, I am glad she is on her journey to recovery following the treatment we are receiving from Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI.

I am very hopeful that she will look even healthier by the time the treatment is completed."

— Fanna Ibrahim

Through compassionate support and continuous monitoring, vulnerable children are on the journey to regaining strength, recovering from malnutrition, and finding hope for a healthier future in communities across Maiduguri, Borno State.

From administering Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to providing personalized one-on-one counselling sessions, our team is ensuring that every child receives the care, attention, and nutritional support needed to thrive again.

No child should be violated, manipulated, or silenced because of their age or gender.

To uphold this commitment, Life at Best Development Initiative - LABDI recently established Community-Based Child Protection Committees in Shuwari and Kushari communities in MMC, Borno State.

These committees will be equipped to identify, prevent, and report cases of child abuse, ensuring timely and appropriate response within their communities.

The initiative is supported by the Nigeria Humanitarian Fund (NHF) OCHA Funds, and it is strengthening community-led protection systems and creating safer environments where children can live free from harm.
