In a country where violence often goes unrecorded and injustice unacknowledged, we are building something powerful: a digital space to honour lives lost, preserve truth, and stand against the erasure of pain and history.

PSJ UK’s Memorialisation Website Project is more than just a site. It’s a living record of Nigeria’s journey through conflict, resilience, and hope — created to give voice to victims and help ensure that the world cannot look away.

Why It Matters

Over the past decade, thousands of lives have been lost to violence in Nigeria, from terror attacks to banditry, mass killings, and silent displacements. Often, the names of victims disappear without a public record. Stories are forgotten. Families grieve in silence. And without documentation, injustice multiplies.

We believe that every life matters. Every story deserves to be told.

This project is our way of ensuring that:

• Victims are not forgotten

• Communities can grieve with dignity

• The scale and impact of violence is preserved in public consciousness

• Advocates and policymakers have evidence to demand justice and accountability

What the Memorial Website Will Do

The platform will be a carefully curated digital memorial — one that captures the who, what, where, and when of violence across Nigeria, with a focus on underreported atrocities in Middle Belt and Northern regions.

It will include:

• Victim Profiles: Names, faces, ages, and short bios (where available), submitted with consent from families or verified local sources

• Incident Records: Verified data and descriptions of attacks, including dates, locations, and responsible groups (where known)

• Personal Stories: First-hand testimonies from survivors, families, and frontline responders

• Visual & Audio Memorials: Photos, videos, poems, prayers, and oral histories to humanise the data and carry the emotional weight of each story

• Advocacy & Prayer Resources: Tools for supporters, churches, and advocacy groups to take action, raise awareness, or pray meaningfully

Built with Care

We are taking great care to build this platform ethically, sensitively, and collaboratively. It will not be a sensationalist archive. It will be a space of dignity, created with community input, trauma-informed guidance, and security protocols to protect vulnerable contributors.

We're working with Nigerian developers, data researchers, and affected communities to ensure the platform reflects local realities while holding global relevance.

What It Will Cost

Building something this meaningful takes resources. We have carefully costed what it will take to build, launch, and sustain the Memorialisation Website.

Total Estimated Budget: £74,500

Breakdown:

• Website and application development: £26,000

• Research & verification team: £10,000

• Hosting & cybersecurity: £5,000

• Content & storytelling (video, photography, oral history): £15,000

• Marketing & launch: £3,500

• Monitoring & evaluation: £10,000

• Admin/Operations: £5,000

Every pound given goes directly towards ensuring that lives lost are honoured and remembered with the dignity they deserve.

How You Can Support

We are currently in the build phase and need partners to help us bring this project to life.

Your support can help us:

• Design and launch a secure, accessible website

• Fund field-based researchers who collect and verify data sensitively

• Document stories through video, photography, and oral history

• Engage families and communities in healing and truth-telling

• Host annual digital remembrance events and release public reports

This platform won’t bring back what was lost — but it will make sure the world knows what happened, and why it must never happen again.

Never Forget. Never Again.

Injustice thrives in silence. Memory is a form of resistance.

Help us shine a light in the darkness and honour those whose lives were cut short.

Together, we can build a memorial that speaks not only of tragedy — but of courage, justice, and hope.
