Remember Me tells the story of people who have been forced to flee their homes due to the Boko Haram conflict in North-East Nigeria. The refugees face abuse, exploitation, and discrimination to meet their basic needs and deal with anxiety about their future. Women and children represent over 75 percent of the displaced population and are particularly vulnerable when in need of food, water, shelter, and personal and menstrual hygiene items. 

Despite years of humanitarian assistance, they continue to depend on infrequent relief distributions to meet their daily needs and are unable to become self-reliant, which affects their state of mind, self-esteem, and ability to rebuild their lives with dignity.

In addition to highlighting their experiences, Remember Me proffers solutions that combine psychosocial and vocational skills support to achieve self-reliance, which serves as a bridge to close the transition gap from aid-dependence to sustainable solutions. It demonstrates solutions that empower displaced persons to improve their state of mind, earn a living, and end their protracted displacement.
