Touched by the plight of IDPs in Benue,Blogger takes Empowerment program to Jato Aka IDP camp.PHOTOS

Touched by the plight of the Internally Displaces Persons in her community, Nigerian Blogger,Mandy Kaunan (Mandygist.com ) on Friday 11 May 2017, decided to organize an outreach for IDPs in Jato Aka,Kwande LG in Benue state.

The aim of the outreach was to Empower  the IDPs by training them in the area of bead making, small chops (I.e puff-puff Dough-nut, Egg-roll, Chin chin, and baking of cup cakes) .This to make them self reliant, enterprising and self employed while in camp.

Mandy also distributed relief materials and mobilized the trained IDPs with some materials to start up their small chop and bead making  businesses. 

In her post on her facebook page,Mandy said her aim was to help the displaced persons especially women to become self reliant. 

She later  shared relief materials like cloths, shoes, sleepers (flip flops), detergents, soap, flour, sugar, rice, indomie and Condoms. 

Over 150 IDPs participated.
