Erosion collapse in Ikeja: help the Eastgate neighborhood rebuild
The erosion collapse damaged 18 homes in the Eastgate neighborhood. We're raising funds for repairs, supplies and temporary shelter.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria1,107 views
The erosion collapse hit the Eastgate neighborhood on 2 July. My home was one of 18 damaged, and 6 families are still in temporary shelter at the local school gym.
The first few days we shared what little we had. Now the cleanup has started, but we've no money for materials and winter or the rainy season is coming.
Schools in the area have been closed, and the clinic lost its cold storage for vaccines. We're a small community of working families who have never asked for help before.
We have formed a volunteer committee, and I'm the treasurer, so I'll post receipts for everything we buy.
Funds go to building materials, water purification supplies, bedding, and food for families still in shelters.
Where the $1,300 goes:
• Roofing sheets and timber: $650
• Clean water and purification supplies: $75
• Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $110
• Food parcels for displaced families: $150
• Tools and labor for repairs: $315
With deep gratitude,
Chioma

sending good thoughts, Chioma. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Wish I lived closer to Dhaka so I could bring a meal. All the best.
So sorry you're going through this, Chioma. Shared this with my family. Sent it to 36 people at work. Greetings from Peshawar.
Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything!
