Durumi IDP camp/local school outreach

“Children are our greatest treasure. They are our future” — Nelson Mandela. 

Hey, we didn't say it; he did.

At the KidInNeedsociety, we believe every child deserves an equal opportunity to be successful. Due to the imperfection of our world, this is near impossible, but we will play our little part.

On the 30th of August 2025, the KidInNeedsociety embarked on a follow-up mission to the Durumi Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp. After our last outreach to them, which was 5 years ago, we have kept in contact ever since: making calls, measuring impact, and many more. Today, we gathered educational materials from all around the country's capital and brought them to the children who needed them, the children who ran from their homes for fear of their lives, the children who deserve the same chances as us. 

The National President, Chialugo Mbakwe, accompanied by Chukwudi Brian and Bello David, represented the organization on this particular outreach.

They were warmly received by the camp officials and residents. Our members presented a total of 132 books, along with other materials, more than enough to cater to the understaffed primary school in the camp. They also addressed the children and encouraged them to read. At the conclusion of the outreach, all involved were deeply moved, and we all agreed that it was a successful one. There are about 450 children in the camp that need our help; we must not give up.

For every child we educate, we are a step closer to a brighter future. Anyone who is interested in working with or for the society or even offering donations should reach out to any of the members of the society.

For now, we will leave you with the insightful words of  Wess Stafford:

"If we nurture the dreams of children, the world will be blessed. If we destroy them, the world is doomed!"

-- Chialugo Mbakwe
