The Foundation carried out a multi-sector needs assessment at Durumi IDP camp in the Federal Capital Territory, and agreed a classroom furniture project with camp coordinators.
The furniture is being built by a carpenter living in the camp. The same expenditure creates a learning space and an income, an example of the Foundation's operating principle that where a community holds the skill, we buy it there.
The project began with an assessment and an agreement with camp coordinators, not with a decision made in Abuja. No intervention opens without consultation with the community it will serve.
