Many countries in West Africa are not in a position to provide adequate social support to their wide breadth of citizens. The lockdown across West Africa has seen households in remote areas lose their abilities to work and support themselves.
We recently partnered with the Nigerian Youth Corps to provide food support for a week to 50 elderly citizens and their households in the southern region of Nigeria - at a small cost of £250.
This project will allow us to continue doing this work and extend this support to other countries in West Africa.
