About YMKACDI

We are a dedicated non-profit organization focused on empowering communities through kindness and sustainable development.

OUR ORIGIN

Who We Are

YMKACDI (CAC/IT/NO/8441109, established 2024) is a non-profit founded and led by Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Borno State.

Utilizing secondhand lived experiences to design highly responsive humanitarian and developmental solutions, we work directly on the frontlines to empower vulnerable populations.

We specifically prioritize women, children, and marginalized groups across the Borno, Adamawa, and Yobe (BAY) states and beyond. Our firsthand understanding of displacement drives our commitment to authentic, community-centered solutions.
