COVID-19 is shaking the world – and our nation along with it. It is undoubtedly here with us in Nigeria – our home and the only one we know. Our nation along with others, is battling this pandemic, and every focus is on it and its devastation on populations around the world – especially the vulnerable groups – the old, the sick and infirm.
We appeal to our Governments at all levels: We are Nigerian children. We live in this nation. We live with Severe Acute Malnutrition and we are vulnerable too! We live in the IDP Camps all over Nigeria, We live in Vulnerable households, We live in very low income households, We live in insurgency afflicted areas, We live with beggar and the homeless communities – We are everywhere in your midst! COVID-19 or not, we have to live too – even with our pre-existing conditions of SAM!
DO NOT FORGET US – We are part of Nigeria! Please make provision for our RUTF (Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Foods) to improve our survivability – more so in these pandemic times. We are part of you. We are tomorrow, if you care for us today – We are your future – Please care for us today – Put our RUTF in OUR National and State level COVID-19 Humanitarian and Disaster Response.
This message is from ISMPH and the SAM Consortium on behalf of The very Vulnerable Nigerian Children with SAM.
