Disaster relief & humanitarian aid, S/East Nigeria

We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, generosity, and expression of solidarity to our project, "Post COVID Recovery Relief Fund to Rural Imolite (54335)".

In the past three months of our last project report, we haven't received through GlobalGiving link in continuation of our humanitarian services.

Balance brought forward of last budget expenditures =$-76.71

The major challenges we face in our project management is occasioned by poor and insufficient funding and sponsorship, inadequate equipment to execute the project, economic and political instability and environmental . All these contribute to delaying our performance in helping those affected by COVID-19 pandemic to recover from the loses.

However, the persistence of hunger is no longer a matter of food availability. Rather, in many countries that failed to reach the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) hunger target, natural and human-induced disasters or political instability have resulted in food insecurity affecting large swathes of the population.

This crisis is alarming, in part, because it has several new and unfamiliar features. A global medical emergency caused by a virus we still do not fully understand. A self-inflicted economic catastrophe as a necessary policy response to contain its spread.

And yet as time has passed, it has also become clear that much of what is most distressing about this crisis is not new at all. Striking variations in COVID-19 infections and outcomes appear to reflect existing economic inequalities. Remarkable mismatches between the social value of what “key workers” do and the low wages they receive follow from the familiar failure of the market to value adequately what really matters.

The happy embrace of disinformation and misinformation about the virus was to be expected, given a decade of rising populism and declining faith in experts. And the absence of a properly coordinated international response ought to have come as no surprise, given the celebration of “my country first” global politics in recent years.

The crisis then is a revelation in a far more literal sense—it is focusing our collective attention on the many injustices and weaknesses that already exist in how we live together. If people were blind to these faults before, it is hard not to see them now.

What will the world look like after COVID-19? Many of the problems we will face in the next decade will simply be more extreme versions of those that we already confront today. The world will only look significantly different this time if, as we emerge from this crisis, we decide to take action to resolve these problems and bring about fundamental change.

Once again, thank you for your generous donation to "Post COVID Recovery Relief Fund to Rural Imolite (54335)" that supported these efforts in the last few months.
