A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Society for Alleviation of Rural Poverty and Integration of Peaceful Co-existence (SARPIC), has distributed relief items to over 1,000 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Shiroro local government area of Niger state.
Arc. John Agmada Bawa, Founder of the NGO, led a team from the organisation to distribute relief items to two IDP camps in Government Day Secondary School Shiroro and Zumba.
Arc. Bawa explained that the intervention was through the organisation’s Community Resilience Action through the Provisions of Livelihood Support project with target to reach out to over 3,000 IDPs with clothing, foodstuff, health outreach, formal education and entrepreneurship training.
He disclosed that subsequent intervention would be for distribution of food items, medical interventions, entrepreneurship training and possible granting of scholarships to bright children who had dropped out of school to return to school.
Responding, Malam Umaru Aliyu, District Head (Hakimi) of Galadima-kogo, appreciated the NGO and the individuals who contributed for coming to their aid with the relief items to reduce their sufferings.
SARPIC is a community based NGO currently in Niger state with a mission to build a cycle of love and support – based around those in distress and in urgent need.
