LEFT TO FEND FOR THEMSELVES<br />
NIGERIA | RESCUE FUND<br />
Professor Tarfa and his wife, Mercy, founded a Christian<br />
orphanage in Nigeria’s Kano State more than two decades<br />
ago. They’ve been rescuing abandoned little ones<br />
ever since.<br />
On Christmas 2019, however, police raided the orphanage<br />
and arrested Tarfa. They also transferred 27 children to government-run<br />
facilities, gave them Muslim names, and required<br />
them to recite Muslim prayers. Tarfa was rearrested and sentenced<br />
to two years in prison in March <strong>2022</strong>.<br />
Through the ICC Rescue fund, we implemented a feeding<br />
program to care for children at the orphanage. Students receive<br />
three nutritious, well-balanced meals daily. ICC also featured<br />
Tarfa in its prisoner letter-writing campaign.<br />
