Day 1 – Welcome to Nigeria (#40Days2025)

Nigeria is one of eight countries that Hands at Work is serving in across Africa. Nigeria has a population of 225,731,260 people, with 31% of the population living in extreme poverty. Ranking 161 out of 187 on the Human Development Index, 160,000 children are living with HIV/AIDS and 1,200,000 children have been orphaned because of this life-threatening illness.  – Sources: UNAID, UNDP, World Poverty Clock 

As we start 40 Days of Prayer, we invite you to join us in praying for the country of Nigeria:

  • “Please pray that the Lord will touch the hearts of our leaders and that of every Nigerian to have a heart of compassion and generosity to each other. Please pray against every kind of greed.

  • Please pray that the Lord will restore Nigeria in every good area. That our economy will be restored.

  • Please pray for love and unity among all the ethnic groups in Nigeria.

  • Please pray against sicknesses, kidnapping, drug abuse, ritual killings, child abuse and all forms of evil in Nigeria.” – Vivian, Service Centre Coordinator (Nigeria)
