Mmm-nigeria Donates N5m Relief Materials To Idps by integritylady(f): 11:14pm On Nov 19, 2016 |
‘MMM-Nigeria’, a community of mutual
financial aid and donations, on Saturday
donated relief materials worth N5 million to
two Internally Displaced Persons camps in
the Federal Capital Territory.
The gesture was part of the community’s
humanitarian week tagged ‘MMM cares’ to
mark its first anniversary.
The Gwoza and Bama IDP Camps located in
Durumi area and the New Kuchingoro IDP
camp were the two beneficiaries of the relief
materials.
Bags of rice, beans, garri, as well as
cartoons of beverages and noodles, were
some of the items donated by the group.
The group also donated clothing, drugs, and
educational materials to the pupils among
them.
A Guilder in the ‘MMM Community’, Mr. Seyi
Bello, said the donation was motivated by
the desire of the group to affect the society
positively, especially the less-privileged.
He said, “We are marking our first year
anniversary and we have decided to come
and celebrate it with our brothers, mothers
and children in the camp.
“As a community, we do not only provide
help to our members, we also extend that to
the larger society as part of our social
responsibility.
“In these times of economic challenges, the
IDPs are the ones that need help and
support more than any other person; that is
why we visited them today,” he said.
Bello explained that besides providing help
and donations to its members, humanitarian
service was a flagship programme of the
group.
He said that the relief items were bought
from free-will donations of members in their
quest to touch lives positively.
He said, “The N5 million was raised from
voluntary donations my members in the FCT.
“That is what defines us as a community of
people providing financial help to each other
on the principle of reciprocity and
benevolence.
“In MMM there are no lenders and no
debtors. One participant asks for help,
another one helps.’’
Bello appealed to individuals, groups and
corporate bodies to always remember the
IDPs across Nigeria, since government alone
would not be able to provide for them
adequately.
He said, “They are our brothers and sisters
who have left the comfort of their homes and
are now struggling for survival here.
“No matter how little, let us always extend a
hand of help to them to complement what
government and other donors are doing.”
The General Secretary of the IDP camp at
New Kuchingoro, Mr. Enoch Yohanna, who
received the items, expressed gratitude for
the gesture which he described as `timely.’
He said, “The Christmas season is very
close; we thank MMM-Nigeria for bringing
these items to us.
“We hope to share them satisfactorily among
us for everybody to be happy and have a
happy Christmas celebration.”
The visit to the IDPs camps was preceded
by a two-hour environmental sanitation by
members of the group on Nyanya/Mararaba
route, a suburb of the FCT.
Members of the group came out in their
numbers to clear garbage from drainage and
streets in the area.
