Modupe Ozolua Tours Communities Destroyed By Boko Haram

Since January 2015, Empower54 under the umbrella of Body Enhancement Foundation has empowered over 200 internally displaced women by making them self-sufficient through skills they had prior to displacement.

Such as giving them sewing machines, money for trade, resources for farming, local oil processing, materials for traditional weavers, rented homes.

Empower54, which is also registered in the US, also creates schools at IDP camps for internally displaced children in the North East states of Gombe, Adamawa and Borno States. The children are given uniforms, shoes, writing materials; teachers were hired and paid monthly by the organization.

As part of Empower54’s “Rise Above Terror” campaign to rehabilitate internally displaced women and children; Princess Modupe Ozolua, has gone on numerous dangerous tours of some communities destroyed by Boko Haram in Adamawa and Borno States.

The objectives of the tours are to properly estimate the extent of damages done to homes by Boko Haram and configure that into its existing empowerment and educational programs for the IDPs. 

Some communities visited are: Adamawa State: Yola, Mubi, and Mararaba-Mubi, Mishara, Shuwakalaa.

Borno State: Uba, Michika, Kuma, Askira-Uba, Bazza, Kuzum, 

Dilchim, Lassa, Dille, Maiduguri, Bama, Conduga, Mangoro and Gowza.

Well done Modupe.....I hope your efforts are recognised internationally soon.
