Women-led orgs are key to protecting vulnerable communities!

We trained 5 women-led orgs & 2 community focal groups in Adamawa on GP, GBV & PSS—empowering 46 women to identify & respond to protection concerns.

We are appalled at the announcement from the US Government to terminate nearly all its aid contracts. These terminations endanger the lives of millions of the world’s most vulnerable people.

In Gubio IDP camp, @DRC_NGA distributed water containers for people affected by the floods.

Access to water is a struggle, the camp has over 22k people with daily water supply of only 20k liters.

We MUST scale-up, to respond to the multiple needs of those affected!
