World Vision distributes 500 kits of kitchen, hygiene and sanitation items at Mangaize camp, on Niger border to 500 households: 3,500 people, including 2,400 refugees and 700 from the host community.
“Everyone was very grateful for the distribution. These items (kitchen, hygiene and sanitation) were badly needed by the families here,” said World Vision’s Emergency Response Manager in Niger, Boukary Gambo. “Families told us that it was the first time since arriving to the camp that they were involved in deciding what was needed the most.”
