The beginning of a new year offers an opportunity to reflect, express gratitude, and recommit to our shared responsibility to humanity.

In 2025, Life At Best Development Initiative (LABDI) navigated complex humanitarian and development challenges across our areas of implementation. Despite these realities, our commitment to serving communities with integrity, compassion, and professionalism remained unwavering. Through collaborative efforts, we delivered life-saving and life-enhancing support across health, protection, education, livelihoods, and community development—reaching those who needed support the most.

Our achievements were driven by partnership. We sincerely appreciate our donors for their trust and continued support, and our partners—including government institutions, UN agencies, INGOs, CSOs, and local actors—for their collaboration and technical guidance.

We recognize our staff and volunteers whose dedication, professionalism, and sacrifices continue to define LABDI’s work, often in challenging environments. We also extend deep gratitude to the communities we serve. Your trust, resilience, and participation remain central to our approach and impact.

As we step into 2026, LABDI remains committed to innovation, accountability, and community ownership. Together, we will build on lessons learned and continue working toward a future where dignity, opportunity, and hope are accessible to all.

Life At Best Development Initiative (LABDI) joined other humanitarian partners and the borno state primary health care agency to launch the second round of the Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (MNCH) Week in Borno State.

MNCH Week is a nationwide, biannual campaign that delivers free, integrated health services to mothers, newborns, and children. The initiative provides essential interventions—including immunization, vitamin A supplementation, deworming, antenatal care, nutrition screening, family planning services, and health education on breastfeeding, hygiene, and other life-saving practices—all aimed at reducing mortality and improving overall well-being.

LABDI’s participation in this transformative health drive underscores our strong commitment to enhancing the health and dignity of women and children across the state.

Digital gender-based violence (DGBV) is one of today’s most urgent yet overlooked human rights issues. It inflicts deep emotional, psychological, and even economic harm on those targeted. The true horror of DGBV lies in its reach: the anonymity that shields perpetrators, the way online abuse can escalate into real-world danger, and the systemic efforts that push women and girls out of digital and public spaces.

In this episode, we break down what DGBV looks like, why it’s spreading, and how we can confront it together.
