September 26, 2024, marked a significant day for the internally displaced persons (IDPs) at the Mangu IDP camp in Plateau State, Nigeria. ASM Agrovest, a non-governmental organization, visited the camp to provide humanitarian support to those affected by the recent attacks in the LGA.
The purpose of the visit, as expressed by Mr. Stephen Vwam’an, Team Lead of ASM Agrovest, was to identify with the people of Plateau State and provide relief materials to alleviate their suffering. This preliminary effort paved the way for a more extensive intervention planned for the future.
During the visit, ASM Agrovest donated essential items, including medications to support the camp’s healthcare needs and food items to alleviate hunger and malnutrition. The Camp Director, Mr. Mathias Sohotden, and IDP Camp Physician, Dr. Usaini Sana, warmly received the donations, expressing gratitude to ASM Agrovest for their kindness and thoughtfulness.
The IDP camp faces numerous challenges, including inadequate access to healthcare and essential services. Mr. Sohotden shared concerns about the ongoing violence in the local government, highlighting a recent incident in Larkas district where a man was attacked while clearing his farm for irrigation. The victim is currently receiving treatment at the Jos University Teaching Hospital (JUTH). Sadly, a woman outside the camp lost her life due to inadequate medical care.
ASM Agrovest’s commitment to supporting vulnerable communities shines through in their actions. Their donations and promise of future interventions bring hope to displaced persons. The organization’s efforts serve as a testament to the power of humanitarian action.
