From Chibok to the world, their stories continue. 🚀 What began as a pilot study has become proof that when women are supported, families and futures are transformed. Through the Chibok Groundnut Initiative, mothers who once struggled to provide are now harvesting more, earning more, feeding their families, and sending their children to school. These are not just testimonials—they are evidence of resilience, dignity, and the power of sustainable support. As we begin the next cycle of this initiative, we’re reflecting on the impact of the last one and the lives already being changed from the soil upward. Every harvest, every product, and every sale is part of a bigger vision: building a sustainable system where the women of Chibok can continue to provide for their families, fund future farming cycles, and create lasting impact for the next generation. Visit mothersofchibok.com to see how you can partner with these amazing women. #MothersOfChibok #ChibokGroundnutInitiative #FromChibokToTheWorld #FarmingFundsEducation #UwaosiRhodaFoundation

Twelve years on, the mothers of Chibok are still mothering, still fighting. This 2026 planting season, they return to their fields. This new term, they send their children back to school. Not out of routine, but out of resolve. For their daughters, education is a future. For their sons, it is protection from the lies that recruit boys into violence. This is not survival, This is strategy. Not aid. Not pity. A community of mothers building, season by season, the conditions for their children to choose something other than what was chosen for them. On Mother’s Day, this is what love looks like. Rooted. Relentless. Refusing to break. #MothersofChibok #FarmingfundsEducation #mothersday2026

Brown earth, Green life. ✨🌱✨ Every May, the women of Chibok work the land the way they always have; with intention, with knowledge, and with everything their families need riding quietly on the season. What comes out of the soil feeds children, funds school fees, and holds communities together in ways that don’t always make headlines.

Earlier this week, on April 14, marked 12 years since 276 girls were taken from Chibok. Twelve years of grief and endurance. But also twelve years of refusing disappearance, silence, and neglect. And this is why I made the film @mothersofchibok because I believe these mothers deserved to be heard. Their story has never only been about loss. It is also about what they have done with pain. How they have turned waiting into work; how they have turned memory into movement.
And how they are rebuilding, through courage, enterprise, and the strength of their own hands. So when the @humanrightsfilmfestival.berlin honored their story last night with the Willy Brandt Documentary Film Award, it meant something deeper than recognition. It meant their voices travelled. It meant their truth landed. It meant the world listened. If you believe in what the mothers are building, and want to stand with them, visit mothersofchibok.com. To the mothers of Chibok: thank you. For your strength, your clarity, and for showing the world what endurance, resistance, and hope really look like. @impact.partners.docs @ajokesilva @katie_blake @rachelhalilej @sharkislandinstitute @jamiepatricof @uzoaduba @mothersofchibok

Twelve years after Chibok, we remember the pain. But we also choose to see the fuller truth. On @tvcnewsng Breakfast and Wake Up Nigeria this morning, ‘Mothers of Chibok’ Executive Producer @ajokesilva and Director/Producer @kachibenson reflected on a story that has moved beyond headlines and toward something deeper: the women of Chibok as leaders, entrepreneurs, educators, and builders of the future. Through the film, and through the growing groundnut initiative and enterprise, their story is being reclaimed with dignity, care, and purpose, from tragedy toward possibility, from survival toward lasting economic power. They are not only women to be remembered for what happened to them. They are women to be recognised for what they continue to build. Unbowed. Unbroken. #MothersOfChibok #FromChibokWithLove #Unbroken #Unbowed

A story like this doesn’t end at the cinema. Today, we bring Mothers of Chibok into a more intimate, intentional space for a private screening and live studio taping at TVC Communications, marking 12 years since the abduction of the Chibok schoolgirls. Following the screening, a live conversation moderated by Bolanle Olukanni will bring together voices across film, culture, and media to deepen the conversation: what it means to tell this story and how we move from awareness to action. This is a moment we are proud to be shaping. Not just as a screening, but as a continuation of a national conversation and a celebration of the enterprise of the resilient mothers who never stopped hoping. 🗓 Tuesday, April 14, 2026 📍 TVC Communications Studios, Eko Atlantic, Lagos

Twelve years after the world cried #BringBackOurGirls, the women of Chibok are still standing, unbowed and unbroken. Through farming, they are funding education, caring for their families, and quietly defying the violence that once tried to steal their future. Their story remains one of courage, dignity, and enduring hope. #MothersOfChibok #FromChibokWithLove
