IBF Community Outreach Programme (iCOP)
WASH Projects: Under our iCOP initiative, we have equally carried out three (3)
Accomplishment
in three (3) communities, Zara Hassan Birma – Shaffa, Zara Teba – Shaffa and Bwala
communities in Hawul LGA. We found out about how difficult it was for the inhabitants of
these communities to access quality drinking water and the inherent excessive cost of sinking
a borehole in these parts of the country because of the nature of the topography of the area, hence our resultant action to sink boreholes in these communities. The target beneficiaries of
these projects are about 1160 persons.
Medical Outreaches: Still under our iCOP initiative, we carry out periodic medical outreaches, especially in the Northeast, during which we distribute food supplements, wheelchairs and
crutches, conduct medical check-ups and give medications where necessary. Our last
outreach was carried out in December 2018 at Hawul LGA and January 2019 at Askira Uba
LGA with 250 beneficiaries recorded in each of these LGAs. This was self funded and in
partnership with Gabasawa Initiative, and it cost us $22,446.69. Emergency Interventions: During the peek of the violence by Boko Haram attack in 2014 and
2018, in Adamawa and Southern Bornu States axis, IBF engaged in emergency rescue
interventions by evacuating over 500 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) provided shelter, food items and Non Food Items (NFIs) in a make shift camp at Abuja until all these IDPs were
able to return back home. We spent $4,122.33 on this project. This was self funded. IBF Youth Empowerment Scheme (iYES)
