A Major Humanitarian Commitment: Seven Wells for 15,000 Lives

Greater Abuja Area, Nigeria – 2025

In 2025, Mr. and Mrs. Bensoussan, President of the Jewish Israelite Community of

Hauts-de-France, led an exceptional humanitarian campaign on behalf of their community and in

their personal capacity.

Driven by a deep commitment to humanitarian impact, they invested more than €350,000 in 2025

alone, supporting numerous initiatives aimed at improving living conditions for vulnerable

populations in Nigeria.

As part of this campaign, they financed the drilling and installation of seven boreholes across

different communities in the greater Abuja area. These water projects now provide sustainable

access to clean drinking water for approximately 15,000 people.

Despite challenging weather conditions, Mr. and Mrs. Bensoussan personally traveled to Nigeria to

witness the implementation of the projects and to share these powerful and emotional moments

with local communities.

During their visit, they also toured and supported several educational institutions, as well as

programs dedicated to assisting people with disabilities and children with Down

syndrome—initiatives highlighted in separate articles.

Their commitment represents not only financial generosity but also leadership, presence, and

long-term vision for sustainable humanitarian development.
