Due to the staggering population that fall within the bracket of being “underprivileged,” broader policies and structures have to be put into place to make bigger impacts on their lives. 

That’s why Body Enhancement Foundation has created and implementing charity programs that will not give “a man fish to eat, but teach him how to fish”. 

Gombe And Adamawa State Rehabilitation

Since the foundation started rehabilitating internally displaced Nigerian women and children displaced due to insurgency caused by Boko Haram, their focus is to “rehabilitate” them, not give them “relief.”

In order for them to regain their dignity and start earning a living again, regardless of what petty trade they used to do before becoming displaced; they have to be assisted via enabling them to be self-sufficient again.

The foundation already started this process in Gombe and Adamawa States. In Gombe, women were given sewing machines; money for petty trade, fabrics to trade, paid their rent, gave items needed for local food processing, clothing, food and also toys to the children.

In Yola, a school for 501 internally displaced children at a camp between the ages of 1 to 14yrs old was created. They got uniforms, shoes, writing materials and have hired the teachers amongst the displaced Nigerians at the camp; and now pay them monthly to teach the children.

As they have lost all they had to insurgency, they have to be able to eventually return to their homes with means of livelihood. 

What is RIDWC?

Rehabilitate Internally Displaced Women and Children (RIDWC) is a registered campaign to create awareness of their plight and also raise funds to help rehabilitate them. Monies raised will be used to buy machinery, get farmlands, and start up small-scale businesses for the women; as well as buy more uniforms, shoes, and writing materials for displaced children at camps in harboring states.

Media houses and publications in America are already supporting the RIDWC campaign. It’s everyone’s desire to receive assistance to improve the quality of their lives; these people are no exception. 

This should be important to everyone! If this happened to you or someone you know, wouldn’t you want help?
