After two years of displacement following the Alindao violence, over 800 families began returning home in early 2026. Share Hope distributed shelter kits, agricultural tools, and seeds so they could rebuild — and replant.
Each family received a shelter kit containing corrugated iron sheets, nails, tools, and rope, plus 10kg of improved seeds (maize, groundnuts, and cassava cuttings) and basic agricultural implements.
Our team conducted return monitoring visits every two weeks, documenting challenges and providing additional support. Many families found their homes destroyed and farmland overgrown.
The agricultural component is time-sensitive: seeds were distributed in time for the March planting season, giving families the best chance at a first harvest by July.
Early reports show 76% of returned families successfully planted, with good germination rates despite below-average rainfall.
