Humanity, for Months now, has been experiencing what we can say has never happened before. We have been in a state of shock and anxiety regarding the high level of uncertainty about human life and existence that is taking over. No one is sure of what could happen the next moment. This level of uncertainty is creating fear which is growing to a point of despair.
Coupled with these fears of hopelessness and safety is hunger that is killing now in Nigeria more than the virus as a result of the lockdown. Disenfranchised women and the homeless derived their meager income from daily paid jobs, petty trading and alms begging. The lockdown has made it impossible for the women to go about their daily paid job and petty trading and they are thereby left with nothing to take care of themselves and their children. As a result of this, hunger has killed more than COVID 19 in the slums and villages.
WIDC have been distributing food to women in the slums since the lock down started from little money we can gather from family and friends. We also hope to get more money to reach more families through our side project on this issue.
