The Isoko Youth Assembly Worldwide (IYA) has launched a humanitarian project aimed at providing relief and financial assistance to families affected by devastating floods in the Isoko Nation and across Nigeria. This project is a response to the severe impact of the recent flood crisis, which caused significant displacement and hardship for numerous communities, particularly within the Isoko South region.
Project Overview
The project, spearheaded by IYA under the leadership of President Comrade Matthew Olomu, focuses on offering direct support to flood victims in the form of cash donations. These contributions were made possible through the Isoko Youth Assembly Flood Initiative, which rallied both internal and external stakeholders, encouraging leaders and community members to donate and support those in need.
The assembly has been committed to transparency and accountability throughout the process, ensuring that the funds raised are directed to those most affected by the floods. This initiative reflects IYA’s dedication to its core mission of promoting community welfare and assisting vulnerable populations during times of crisis.
Implementation and Support
The relief efforts were officially kicked off at the Oleh Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp, located in the Isoko South Local Government Area of Delta State. Members of the IYA Executive Committee, the Board of Trustees, and IYA Clan Chairmen were present to oversee the distribution of funds and to ensure that the project met its goals. The project is set to continue until all displaced families within the Isoko region have received aid.
The project has also seen significant engagement from community leaders and stakeholders who have partnered with IYA to provide relief. This collective effort demonstrates the strength and unity within the Isoko Nation, ensuring that no member of the community is left behind during times of hardship.
Outcome and Future Plans
The Isoko Youth Assembly Worldwide is committed to continuing its support for flood victims through additional initiatives that focus on rebuilding and recovery. This relief project is the first of many steps in IYA’s long-term strategy to help affected families regain stability and self-reliance. The Assembly is exploring further partnerships with government agencies and private organizations to provide more comprehensive support, including housing reconstruction and economic empowerment programs for displaced individuals.
This humanitarian project is a testament to the Assembly’s dedication to fostering resilience and unity within the Isoko community, ensuring that even in times of crisis, hope and recovery remain possible.
Long live the Isoko Youth Assembly.
Long live the Isoko Nation.
Long live Delta State.
Long live Nigeria.
