Meet Alex Barbir A Good Samaritan Doing Wonders , Building Hospitals, Boreholes And Renovating Affected Area Attacked by Terrorist In Benue (Yelewata)

When stories of destruction dominate the news, it is easy to forget that hope can still rise from the ashes. In communities devastated by violent attacks, rebuilding is not just about bricks and mortar—it is about restoring life, dignity, and faith. This is the path Alex Barbir chose when he stepped into the shattered reality of affected communities like Yelewata.

Alex Barbir did not stop at rebuilding houses. He took a broader and more compassionate approach by constructing churches, clinics, and installing boreholes. These projects addressed the most urgent needs of the people: clean water, access to healthcare, and spiritual support. For communities that had lost almost everything, these interventions marked the beginning of true recovery.

One of the most impactful contributions was the installation of boreholes. Access to clean water is a basic necessity, yet it remains a luxury in many conflict-affected areas. With these boreholes, residents of Yelewata can now access safe drinking water within their community, improving hygiene, reducing disease, and easing the daily struggles faced especially by women and children.

Healthcare was another critical gap that Barbir helped to fill. The newly established clinics now provide basic medical services to victims who previously had to travel long distances for treatment—or go without care entirely. From treating injuries to managing illnesses caused by displacement and trauma, these clinics have become lifelines for the most vulnerable.

The rebuilding of churches also played a deeply symbolic and practical role. Beyond being places of worship, churches serve as centers for healing, counseling, and community unity. In a region scarred by violence, these spaces have helped people rediscover hope, strengthen their faith, and support one another through collective worship and prayer.

According to Alex Barbir, more than ₦90 million was spent on projects in Yelewata alone. Many community members describe his efforts as those of “one man representing three arms of government,” stepping in where institutional support was absent.

 His actions highlight how individual commitment can bridge gaps left by systemic failure.

As the people of Yelewata continue to rebuild their lives, prayers continue to rise for Alex Barbir. Many ask God to grant him strength, wisdom, and resources to do even more for persecuted Christians across Nigeria. His story is a reminder that compassion, when paired with action, can restore not just communities—but hope itself.
