Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative Participates in Men’s Forum on Menstrual and Menopausal Health Education
We are excited to share that Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative was represented at the Men’s Forum on Menstrual and Menopausal Health Education held on September 26, 2025!
The forum provided a platform for men to come together, break down stigmas, and promote menstrual dignity. The discussions centered around biological facts, moral responsibility, and social norms, shedding light on the importance of gender equity and inclusivity.
Through this engagement, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a supportive and inclusive community that prioritizes the well-being of all individuals. We believe that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare and education, free from stigma and judgment.
Let’s continue to work together to break down barriers and promote a culture of understanding and empathy. Menstrual & Menopausal Health, for all
Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative (BRMI) celebrates the International Day of Persons with Disabilities
At BRMI, we believe that persons with disabilities are not defined by their limitations but by their abilities, talents, and potential. We proudly stand with all differently abled persons in advocating for a society where everyone has equal opportunities to participate, contribute, and thrive.
As an organization committed to humanitarian action, social inclusion, and sustainable development, promoting the rights, dignity, and empowerment of persons with disabilities remains one of our core priorities. We are dedicated to supporting their meaningful participation in leadership, decision-making, employment, education, and governance, while advocating for policies that remove barriers to inclusion.
We commend the Benue State Government under the leadership of His Excellency, Rev. Fr. Dr. Hyacinth Iormem Alia, for commemorating the 2025 International Day of Persons with Disabilities and for the passage of the Benue State Disability Rights Law (2025). This landmark legislation demonstrates a commitment to protecting the rights and promoting the welfare of persons with disabilities across the state.
BRMI calls on government at all levels, development partners, civil society organizations, and the private sector to make disability inclusion a priority by ensuring that persons with disabilities are represented in leadership, policy formulation, employment, education, healthcare, and all aspects of public life.
Together, we can build a Benue where every person—regardless of ability—is respected, included, empowered, and given the opportunity to reach their full potential.
As the year ends and many prepare to celebrate, thousands of families in Yelwata IDP Camp will welcome the new year with empty plates and heavy hearts. Displacement has taken their homes, hunger has stolen their strength, and silence has deepened their pain.
From Dec 30th – Jan 1st, Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative is stepping into Yelwata IDP Camp (International Market) to do what humanity demands. Cook warm meals, share love, and remind them they are not forgotten.
This is not just a feeding. It is a night of dignity, compassion, and renewed hope.

These new skills will further strengthen BRMI’s ability to facilitate inclusive community dialogues, promote civic participation, support peaceful conflict resolution, and empower local actors to address development challenges effectively.

BRMI Marks International Women’s Day 2026 in Benue State
Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative (BRMI), a women- and youth-led organization, proudly participated in the 2026 International Women’s Day opening rally in Benue State, organized by the Benue State Ministry of Women Affairs and Social Development in collaboration with Civil Society Organizations.
Under the theme “Give to Gain,” the event brought together government officials, development partners, and civil society to promote women’s empowerment, leadership, and inclusive development.
At BRMI, International Women’s Day is more than a celebration—it is a reminder of the importance of women’s full participation in leadership, decision-making, policy development, and peacebuilding.

Brotherly Relief Mission Initiative (BRMI) successfully conducted a one-day Capacity Building Training on Psychosocial Support (PSS) and Trauma Healing for its staff and volunteers in Benue State, Nigeria, on 11 March 2026.
The training was designed to strengthen participants’ knowledge and practical skills in understanding trauma, recognizing its impact on individuals and communities, and delivering appropriate psychosocial support in humanitarian and community settings.
Key areas covered included:
- Understanding trauma and its underlying causes
- Identifying signs and symptoms of trauma
- Delivering effective psychosocial support services
- Applying community-based approaches to trauma healing and recovery
- Promoting self-care and staff well-being while supporting vulnerable populations
Participants were also introduced to the Trauma LENS approach (Look, Explore, Needs, Support), a practical framework that equips frontline workers with structured techniques for identifying needs, responding appropriately, and strengthening community resilience.
Through this initiative, BRMI continues to invest in building the capacity of humanitarian workers and volunteers to provide quality psychosocial support, foster trauma-informed communities, and enhance the resilience and well-being of vulnerable populations across Nigeria.
