Still in the spirit of showing love and uplifting the indigent in our society, Project Support A Camp has taken a step further in its quest to giving hope to the hopeless, but this time beyond Federal Capital Territory environs to Gwarinpa-Madalla Community in Niger State. This is in collaboration with Kapital FM Abuja and SOTERIA Africa, a Medical Outfit.

“Support A Camp team is doing everything humanly possible to extend love and care not to the Internally Displaced Persons alone but the needy, the less privileged, the sick/bedridden ones, downtrodden as well as People With Disabilities (PWD) living amongst us, said Phil Roberts, Support A Camp, Team Lead.

He further stated that we have realised that there are significant number of Nigerians whose living conditions are even worse than that of the IDPs, this is one of the ways we can reach out to them and touch their lives. It would encourage other well meaning Nigerians out there to also come to their aid.
