Life at Best Development Initiative (LABDI) Recruitment 2024, List of Vacancies and How to Apply
Life at Best Development Initiative (LABDI) is a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can create a better future for survivors of wars. We started extending help to vulnerable children and women who were affected by the insurgency which began in Borno state, Nigeria, in 2009. This moment intensified when we found that there were many such vulnerable children, women, and households who needed help with food, shelter, and education. Our team expanded and we spread out into different parts of the BAY states to make sure we covered all possible areas and helped as many children, women, and households as possible. We support children, families, and communities affected by insurgencies and natural disasters.
