Rehabilitation of School Desks at Lassa
Years of disrepair had left classrooms at a school in Lassa without enough working desks and benches for pupils to sit and write. ADNEN funded a local carpentry and welding team to repair damaged frames, replace worn tops, and rebuild seating from salvaged and new materials on site.
The rebuilt desks and benches were returned to classrooms so pupils have a proper place to sit and learn — a direct, practical piece of our objects around advancing education in Northeast Nigeria.
Clean Water Boreholes for Kaderi and Anamo Villages
Families in Kaderi and Anamo, in south-west Yobe State, relied on unsafe surface water for drinking, cooking and washing. ADNEN funded the construction of hand-pump boreholes with concrete aprons and soak-away drainage, giving both villages a reliable source of clean water close to home.
Each completed borehole was handed over to the community and marked with a site plaque, so it can be maintained and used for years to come — direct relief for those in need under our first object.
Teacher Support for Maiha Gari Community Primary School
Maiha Gari Community Primary School had only four permanent teachers. ADNEN made a £500 (₦225,000) donation through the Maiha Development Group to help the community engage a temporary teacher for a full year.
The extra teacher introduced a more practical, guided approach to lessons, including field excursions where pupils explored rock types and different bodies of water — from ponds and streams to rivers, lagoons, canals and oceans. Our support for schools directly advances our object of education for children in Northeast Nigeria.

Relief for Victims of the September 2024 Maiduguri Floods
In September 2024, severe flooding in Maiduguri, Borno State, displaced hundreds of thousands of residents and destroyed homes, farmland and infrastructure across the city. ADNEN made a donation through the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), Borno State chapter, to support emergency medical relief for those affected.
The NMA channelled support directly to displaced families and medical teams responding on the ground — in line with our object of relieving poverty and providing relief to those in need in Northeast Nigeria.
Grinding Machines for Digino IDP Camp
In 2016, ADNEN donated grinding machines to families sheltering at the Digino IDP camp in Adamawa State, giving displaced households a way to process grain themselves rather than pay for milling they could not afford.
Each machine was marked with the ADNEN name and handed over directly to camp residents — practical relief that helped stretch scarce household income further, in line with our object of relieving poverty for those in need in Northeast Nigeria.
