COVID Relief

Countries in Africa are not only facing increasing cases of COVID-19, the respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, but also economic recession. The lack of infrastructure across all sectors and more specifically in the health sector has exposed the populace to the impact of the virus and has diminished their livelihood during the pandemic and has consequently increased the vulnerables within our society.

The month of April 2020, was an incredible month of hope, joy, and compassion to help meet the dire need of those living in abject poverty in Nigeria. Although our objectives differs from what COVID-19 presented to the world, however, we believe the unique goal of all our humanitarian support which is to save lives and improve the livelihood of the vulnerable, which could still be achieved by supporting the vulnerable during the lockdown. We, therefore, decided to offer different palliatives measures across the geopolitical zones in Nigeria. 

Over 100 families were supported with the basic needs of life (food) during this period in order to help combat the extreme hunger caused as a result of Covid-19 Pandemic restrictions and curfews. Items shared were Rice, Potatoes, Gari (Cassava), Cooking oil, Seasoning, Noodles, Guinea Corn, Salt, Tomatoes, Onions, Sweet Potatoe just to mention a few. 

Thanks to our team of volunteers who offered their precious time in handling out the relief packs. We also supported some people with cash considering their specific needs and we ensure we verified they are all among the extremely vulnerable within our society.

As one of our objectives is to provide social healthcare to impoverished pregnant women, we ensure we do not leave them exposed during the pandemic. We commenced our Access for Impact (Afi) Project which focuses on maternal and child health. 

We have included inspirational stories from those who had benefited from our life-saving social healthcare project called Access for Impact (Afi), where vulnerable and less privileged women are given the opportunity to access quality healthcare during pregnancy and after childbirth at NO COST. The social health care services further include necessary vaccines and health services for the first 5 years of the child delivered through Seyifara and also includes cesarean section if prescribed by our healthcare service provider. 

Our goal is to save 1 million lives in the next 10 years and we believe we are on the right path to achieve this.
