The 黑料网 (AUN), in partnership with Ghana-based nonprofit Amahoro Coalition, launched a humanitarian outreach initiative this week at the Malkoi Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Yola. The initiative combined immediate relief efforts with long-term empowerment strategies aimed at promoting self-reliance among displaced individuals.
The delegation, led by AUN President Dr. DeWayne Frazier and Frederick Mawuli Deeybe of the Amahoro Coalition, distributed essential food supplies to camp residents. In addition to meeting urgent needs, the visit laid the groundwork for future skills development and job training programs.
鈥淲e are partnering with AUN to explore ways of creating job opportunities for capable graduates living in IDP camps,鈥� said Deeybe. 鈥淭here is a strong need to bridge the gap between displacement and self-reliance through meaningful employment.鈥�
Also in attendance was Kadwama Deborah Lazarus, founder of North East Women in Tech. She highlighted ongoing efforts to equip displaced women and youth with practical digital skills. 鈥淲e are currently training 50 women and young people in tech to enhance their employability,鈥� Lazarus explained.
Dr. Frazier reaffirmed AUN鈥檚 dedication to supporting community-driven change. 鈥淭his is what we do at AUN. Sometimes, it's the little things that bring about real change in people鈥檚 lives,鈥� he said.
Expressing his gratitude, Umara Abubakar, chairman of the Malkoi IDP Camp, remarked, 鈥淭his assistance makes a tangible difference in our community.鈥�
