In the wake of the devastating floods that struck Maiduguri, the Kwandala Foundation has stepped in to providing critical relief materials to thousands of displaced individuals.
This initiative aims to bring hope and support to those affected by the disaster.
The floods have left many residents in urgent need, prompting Kwandala Foundation to donate essential items at the Mechanical Workshop Camp, an internally displaced persons (IDP) center.
The relief effort included immediate health consultations, which offered observation, diagnosis, prescriptions, and free medications to flood victims.
In addition to healthcare, Kwandala Foundation provided basic necessities, such as food, toiletries, sanitary materials, and essential wares.
They also supported the Mala Kachallah Primary Health Care unit with vital medical supplies, including sanitary items, diapers, and medications.
Victims expressed profound gratitude for the assistance but highlighted ongoing challenges, urging government intervention to help them rebuild their lives and safeguard their properties from looting.
