The latest Iya Hauwa Foundation activity was on the empowerment of women and youth from rural communities.
The IHF Team distributed food items and seed fund of Ten thousand Naira (N10, 000) each to the women and youth beneficiaries for petty trading such as food vending.
In addition, about 100 trees🌳were given to all the beneficiaries for bettering their immediate environment and tackling the issue of desertification.
The following conditions were attached to the intervention:
1. All beneficiaries MUST enroll their children of school-going age to attend both formal/conventional school and Madrassa/Islamiyya/Qur’anic school.
2. Pregnant Women MUST attend the 4-basic anti-natal care accessible in their locality.
3. All beneficiaries must take care of the trees 🌳 they planted in the Very way they will take care of their businesses.
4. All beneficiaries are to give Iya Hauwa Foundation a token amount of N100 weekly. (The money will go into a revolving fund of the foundation, that way more people can be enrolled in the programme).
M&E is fully in-vibe in the programme. Data/information of all the beneficiaries is taken in order to keep records and track the progress of the programme. (IHF will use KOBOCOLLECT in collecting data, tracking progress etc)
The initial phase of the beneficiaries were 40 in number and they came from the following communities: Birniwa, Matara, Dannu, Fajiginari, Birniwa-Tasha, Kakuri, Garin-Musa, Kasabur, Yarda, Rigar-Musa.
We have also included Fulani women from core ruga in order to serve as a role model for our RUGA women.
IHF is grateful to all those who supported us in one way or the other for without your support we cannot achieve this. May God reward you with the best of rewards Amin…🙏🙏🙏
