Daurama Foundation Restores Access to Clean Water at Kuchingoro IDP Camp

Daurama Foundation has assisted in the successful restoration of access to clean water at the Kuchingoro Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp.
This transformative project has addressed one of the most pressing issues faced by the camp residents, significantly improving their quality of life.
During a recent visit to the Kuchingoro IDP camp, Daurama Foundation’s founder, Dr. Samira Buhari, was deeply moved by the dire conditions. “Seeing the absence of clean water was heart-wrenching. It’s a basic necessity that no one should be deprived of, and the impact on the community, especially the women and children, who are already displaced from their original homes, was profound,” she shared.
One resident, Aisha Babuna, poignantly highlighted the struggle. “Without clean water, our daily lives were filled with hardship. We couldn’t cook, clean, or even drink safely. Our children were constantly at risk of diseases,” Aisha explained to our team when they visited.
In response to this urgent need, the Daurama Foundation’s Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) team immediately engaged with key stakeholders, including the camp’s chairman and secretary, to devise a sustainable solution. After thorough consultations, it was decided that repairing the existing boreholes would be the most effective approach.
“Our team collaborated with local experts to ensure the repairs were done swiftly and effectively,” said Dr. Samira Buhari. “Today, it’s a delight to say that the residents of Kuchingoro IDP camp have access to clean and safe water once again.”
The impact of this project has been profound. The Chairman of the IDP camp expressed immense gratitude: “The restoration of clean water has rejuvenated our community. It has brought hope and relief, allowing us to focus on rebuilding our lives.”
Women in the camp, who are primarily responsible for fetching water, have felt a significant burden lifted. “Having clean water means our children are healthier, and we can take better care of our families,” said one of the mothers in the camp. “It’s more than just water; it’s a lifeline.”
He said the Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting communities in need. This project exemplifies our dedication to enhancing health and well-being through practical and impactful initiatives. By addressing the basic needs of vulnerable populations, we strive to create sustainable change and improve lives.
The Daurama Foundation was established by Dr. Samira Buhari and is committed to improving health outcomes and championing the rights of women and girls across Nigeria through advocacy, comprehensive education, and active community engagement.
It works to tackle pressing issues that affect the well-being and rights of girls and women in the communities it serves with programmes aim at addressing domestic violence, improve neonatal health, and advocate for menstrual health and hygiene; empowering women and girls, fostering sustainable development, and attaining equality heavily rely on these pivotal focus areas.

Russia Strengthens Strategic Ties with Sahel States Amid Geopolitical Shifts
By: Zagazola Makama
Russia has reaffirmed its commitment to strengthening ties with Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, as Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov hosted his counterparts from the three Sahel states in Moscow. The high-level meeting signals deepening cooperation in security, economic development, and diplomatic coordination, amid shifting global alliances and the growing influence of the Alliance of Sahel States (AES).
The discussions, held in a quadrilateral format for the first time, focused on enhancing military collaboration, investment opportunities, and regional security strategies. Lavrov welcomed the delegation, emphasizing Russia’s support for the sovereignty of the three nations as they seek to assert independence in their policymaking and security frameworks.
“We appreciate the determination of your countries to build a new regional security architecture based on your own strengths while remaining open to mutually beneficial cooperation,” Lavrov said. He commended the “dynamic integration” efforts within the AES and highlighted ongoing projects in trade, finance, infrastructure, and human resource development.
The visit comes amid rising geopolitical tensions and the Sahel states’ increasing shift away from Western partnerships. Following military takeovers in Mali, Burkina Faso, and Niger, the three countries have strengthened ties with Russia, particularly in military cooperation and counterterrorism efforts. They have also distanced themselves from the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS), forming the AES as a regional bloc focused on collective security and economic cooperation.
Lavrov noted that Russia is ready to support the AES beyond bilateral engagements, stating that collaboration would extend to international platforms, including the Russia-Africa Forum. The next ministerial meeting of the forum is expected to take place in Africa later this year, ahead of the 2026 Russia-Africa Summit.
In his remarks, Mali’s Foreign Minister, Abdoulaye Diop, reaffirmed his country’s commitment to strengthening ties with Russia, underscoring the importance of strategic alliances in addressing security and development challenges.
The meeting marks a new phase in Russia’s engagement with Africa, particularly in regions seeking alternative partnerships. As the global political landscape evolves, the AES-Russia partnership is expected to influence security dynamics and economic cooperation in the Sahel and beyond.
