Introduction
The effect of COVID 19 has caused unparalleled hiccup on the global community. This is the period that Government needs to unite its citizens and take measures to protect them. One of such is the decision taken by Government to impose total lockdown on its people.
The effect of the lockdown on the society, economies, more especially the vulnerable can’t be over emphasized. It is not the responsibility of the Government alone to extend its helping hands to the vulnerable but a thing of humanity.
Abdullahi Bashir Haske Foundation (ABHF) is a Non-Governmental Organization established to serve humanity. The NGO is registered by Abdullahi Bashir Haske to extend his humanitarian gesture to the needy.
Looking at the effect of the lockdown on the poorest of the poor, AB Haske Foundation decided to provide palliatives for the vulnerable group of people all over the 226 political wards of Adamawa State.
To make sure the targeted beneficiaries are reached, AB Haske decided to partner with Murmushi People’s Development Foundation for the facilitation of the distribution.
The project is designed to feed over eleven thousand three hundred (11,300) households within Adamawa State.
The idea was to reach out to not less than fifty (50) beneficiaries in every ward of the 21 Local Government Areas of the state.
