A foundation set up by Lt General Theophilus Danjuma(retd),Victims Support Fund Taskforce on COVID-19, has provided Water, Sanitation and Hygiene facilities to three schools in Anambra State.

The benefitting schools are Community Secondary School, Mbaukwu, Boys High school, Nteje and Community Secondary School, Igbakwu.

The school were chosen each from the the three Senatorial Districts of the state.

Among the facilities donated included a solar-powered borehole, four handwash stations, 2000 pieces of reusable facemasks, five pieces of four- litre hand sanitizers, 120 bottles of 500ml liquid hand wash and five cartons of bleach.

Speaking, the Chairperson of the foundation, Mrs Toyosi Akerele-Ogunsiji, said, "This project is one of his( TY Danjuma) own extension of solidarity to the good people and government of Anambra State as well as the students and teachers and non-teaching staff in Mbaukwu, Nteje, Igbakwu and Anambra State as a whole.

“The Victims Support Fund COVID-19 Taskforce was set up in March 2020 by General Danjuma as a rapid response initiative of the VSF which is the first private sector led humanitarian initiative in Nigeria. And we kicked off our interventions in April 14 in an IDP camp in Abuja.

“And from Abuja, we went to Borno, Yobe, Taraba, Adamawa, Lagos, Ogun, Edo, Delta, Ebonyi, Enugu, Ekiti, Plateau, Niger, Benue, Kano, Katsina, Zamfara, and Kaduna.

“We have travelled to the length and breadth of Nigeria providing food, personal protective equipment, medical items in support of indigent communities and households across all the six geopolitical zones of Nigeria. We did that between April and December 2020.

“In the third phase of the project where we are now in, we decided to move on from just distributing food, PPEs and others to more enduring interventions that will even outlive the COVID-19 pandemic.

“And we decided, based on our needs assessment of our Monitoring and Evaluation and Programmes Department at the VSF, we realized that water is one of the most urgent needs of many communities across Nigeria.

“We make bold to say that since the beginning of COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 in Nigeria, the VSF is the first and perhaps, the most impactful private sector-led organisation in the whole of material

Responding on behalf of the benefiting schools, the principal of Community Secondary School, Mbaukwu, Mrs Catherine Anizoba expressed gratitude to the benefactor and promised proper maintenance of the facilities.
