The founder of the NGO, Mrs Sofiya Imose said the organization is focused on supporting people considered less privileged, with little or no access to covid-19 awareness materials. Covid-19 Relief Nigeria is making more efforts to reach out to other areas.
While speaking to our correspondent,Imose explained “The guiding philosophy of Imose Cares Foundation Int. for Covid-19 Relief Nigeria is “all hands on deck because food is a necessity not a luxury. We seek to pool all available resources both at home and in the diaspora to support the organized collective central efforts of the federal government to alleviate the effects of Covid-19 in Nigeria which is highly impacting on the masses especially with the strict lockdown enforced by the government in a bid to contain the spread of the virus, forcing millions of families into distress due to extreme hunger”

Our Outreaches
We have embarked on several outreaches recently in line with our goal of feeding 1million families daily. Full details of our previous outreaches can be found on our site:www.covid19reliefnigeria.org/gallery
Our goal is to bring help to the Millions of families who are hungry and struggling to survive with no avenues of sustainment, Covid-19 Relief Nigeria will solicit food and domestic essentials from individuals and companies in Nigeria to feed one million families every day.
We are seeking for professionals including psychiatrists, psychologists, clinical social workers, certified life coaches to volunteer their time to help set up an online network for people needing professional mental health help due to the emotional toll of the COVID-19 crisis. Sessions would be held over the phone or on over video chat. The initiative is the first move by an NGO in Nigeria to try to address the mental health consequences that have arisen from the COVID-19 crisis.
Covid-19 Relief Nigeria provides educational materials for homeschooling and other non-classroom learning for all grade levels. This is extremely crucial amongst the students that attend government schools. Many of them do not have access to internet and/or even television to engage in lessons that are offered to private school students.
Covid-19 Relief Nigeria is also partnering with other NGOs within Nigeria who are willing to become channels of hope in their communities to enable us reach out to more Nigerians through their existing platforms. We will do this by providing them with the resources and support they need to bring relief to their communities. Interested NGOs can kindly register at www.covid19reliefnigeria.org.
