Flood in Ikeja: help Orchard village rebuild
Neighbors in Orchard village are rebuilding after the flood; every contribution goes to materials and supplies.
🇳🇬 Ikeja, Lagos, Nigeria2,483 views
The flood hit Orchard village on 8 August. My home was one of 67 damaged, and 14 families are still in temporary shelter at a mosque and church hall.
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 $1,250 goes:
• Tools and labor for repairs: $280
• Clean water and purification supplies: $140
• Roofing sheets and timber: $570
• Food parcels for displaced families: $260
Thanks for being kind about this.
