2025 Palliatives and Support Programs

---

In 2022, Nigeria experienced an overwhelming and devastating seasonal flooding which affected many parts of the country including Nnewi. According to the Federal Government Data, the floods displaced over 1.4 million people and killed over 603 people and injuring more than 2,400 persons and farming lands were also affected. 

The aftermath of this flood coupled with existing high level of unemployment, insecurity, and tribal/religious conflicts leaves the vulnerable populations including children at high risk of disease outbreaks, malnutrition, and food insecurity. 

Many families in the rural communities cannot afford one decent meal a day and this is the reason for Eunice Akosa Foundation Palliative Relief Initiative to widows, orphans and children with disabilities in 2022.
