DEFINITION OF THE PROBLEM
We have been in assistance of the above mentioned group and until now, our project is still ongoing basing on the key factors that need urgent address. After the elections, the country was in turmoil because of the disputed election results. There was arson attacks, maiming, killings, family displacements, business disruptions, torching of houses, human rights abuses i. e. rape. THE DEHECCO FOUNDATION has abandoned all its pro grammes and we embarked on assisting the hunger stricken families. We mobilized the little funds we had and pumped them in this pro-gramme. We were involved in the basic support pro-gram me for these people now that they faced hostility from their neighbors. This group had nothing to rely on because all their pro gram mes had been halted. Those who engaged themselves in business did not get an opportunity to go on. We are providing food, shelter, clothing, health facilities and other basic needs. These are men, women and children; they are still in need . Part of these families has been resettled but they have no edible starting point. There is no food, and all the basic necessities. The bottom-line of this is, these families need urgent address. We therefore appeal the International Organizations siting that you can be in a position to assistance in such situations.
We have exhausted our resources that were meant for other commitments, we are at a cross-road, funds exhausted, materials in need, the people around us, but we can’t assist fully. Our hands are tied. We urgently need the support in these areas:
* Clean water supply as there has been frequent outbreak of waterborne diseases
* Building materials for the reconstruction of homes that were torched
* Economic Empowerment for those who lost their businesses to avoid reliance
* Health facilities
* Hard cash to meet costs
* Feeding pro-gram me
* Purchase of Seeds, fertilizers and ago-chemicals for the next planting seasons
* Food Bank Development
* Scholarships awards to needy bright students
* Lap top and projectors donations for e learning project for schools
* Farm machineries and implements
CONCLUSION
It is our plea that you do consider our need for support in the above mentioned areas so that we can be in a better position of continuing to support the affected people and the community at large. This is a situation that is on-going and we need to keep it running in the positive direction. We are therefore looking forward to your assistance.
