Nigeria
Jos is a city made up of villages with a population of about 900,000 in the middle of Nigeria, on a plateau. It is a city known for tin mining. Nigeria, where Jos is located, is the most populous country in Africa and the seventh most populous country in the world. The native people speak English. Average life span there is 47 years old. Education is free but attendance is neglected in Nigeria; 68% of Nigerians are illiterate. Nigerians tend to have a village mentality, where they share things and look out for one another. Back2Back began working in Nigeria in 2007 with the goal of coming alongside the community in Jos to care for the orphaned children living there.
