Flood in Abuja: help the Northside district rebuild

After the flood, families in the Northside district need clean water, roofing materials and bedding.

The flood hit the Northside district on 26 October. My home was one of 57 damaged, and 5 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 $1,050 goes: • Roofing sheets and timber: $550 • Clean water and purification supplies: $65 • Bedding, blankets and mattresses: $165 • Food parcels for displaced families: $70 • Tools and labor for repairs: $200 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

    Sending strength, Jide. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. Wish I lived closer to Arlington so I could bring a meal. Take care.
