Nigeria: Field Based Data

Humanitarian Aid
Kaduna

There is increasing wave of insurgence going on the northern Nigeria out of religious extremism. This violence atrocities has recorded high number of death, displaced people and children. These displaced people are camped and the camps are humanly unfit thereby posing serious health challenges to people especially pregnant mothers and children. The camp has no educational facilities and this will add up to high number of children out of school in Nigeria. The living standard in there is poor and hunger which has rendered young girls into prostitution, vulnerable to new HIV cases, forced labour and drugs. These internally displaced people are also becoming time bomb in our hands as they become susceptible to revenge and violence at any spark. The need help from us.

Poverty

Ayedade village near Orile Owu

Empowering women oil-palm processors through hygienic methods that would add value to their products. The population of Ayedade village south west Nigeria falls in the 100-1000 bracket with a 60% women constituent. Oil-palm is the main occupation of women who have to rely on men for the more critical operations (harvesting palm bunches, transporting bunches to processing sites, digesting fruits etc) of the processing activities. The current practice of processing especially when women had to wade into digesting pits to skim off oil film on top of the slurry is very unhygienic. This process also gives the end product a peculiar odor which affects quality and consequently the market price. Intervention could start right from the field by replacing the already moribund palm plantation with dwarf palm variety and  introduction of gender sensitive portable mechanical separators. Clean borehole water is already in place courtesy of a federal government rural water provision project, but powered through diesel supply and maintenance by a Church Organization. Empowering the women in Ayedade could lift the whole village out poverty which is now a most glaring feature.
