Abuja, Nigeria – In a heartwarming display of compassion and solidarity, Daurama Foundation successfully executed its Ramadan Relief as part of the “Daurama Foundation Support Initiative” programme on Sunday, March 3rd, 2024, at the New Kuchingoro IDP camp in Abuja. This initiative marks another significant stride in the foundation’s ongoing commitment to providing essential support to vulnerable communities across Nigeria.
With a focus on alleviating the hardships faced by IDP camp residents, the foundation distributed critical food items, including 5kg bags of rice, cooking oil, salt, spaghetti, and other essential food items, alongside monetary donations, to 500 men and women. These provisions were carefully selected to meet the immediate nutritional needs of the residents and ensure they have the necessary resources to sustain themselves and their families during the sacred month of Ramadan.
Reflecting on the initiative, Samira Buhari, Founder of the Daurama Foundation, remarked, “We are deeply moved by the opportunity to extend our support to the residents of the New Kuchingoro IDP camp. Providing these essential items ahead of Ramadan underscores our unwavering dedication to assisting those in need. Together, we can truly make a meaningful difference.”
Mrs. Ladi Mathias, the Women Leader at the New Kuchingoro IDP camp, expressed her gratitude, stating, “The generosity of the Daurama Foundation has brought great relief to our community. This support means a lot to us as we prepare for Ramadan.”
The Chairman of the New Kuchingoro IDP camp, Mr. Emmanuel Philemon, also expressed his gratitude, stating, “The generosity of the Daurama Foundation has brought immense relief to our community. This support is invaluable as we prepare for the fasting month of Ramadan, and we are profoundly grateful for their kindness.”
In addition to addressing immediate humanitarian needs, the Ramadan Relief Initiative aligns with several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including SDG 2, 3 and 5; Zero Hunger, Good Health and Well-being, and Gender Equality respectively. By providing nutritious food items and financial assistance to vulnerable populations, the foundation contributes to efforts to eradicate hunger, improve health outcomes, and empower women and girls in line with the global agenda for sustainable development.

Beyond its immediate impact, the Ramadan Relief Initiative serves as a poignant reminder of the ongoing challenges faced by IDP camp residents in Abuja and beyond. It is a call to action for media partners, stakeholders, and the wider community to join hands in supporting these vulnerable populations and fostering a brighter, more inclusive future for all.
