Covid 19 is affecting all of us

We are still working

Enugu has so far seen over 200 confirmed cases of COVID-19 with the numbers still rising steadily. Very early on our office took preventive measures to stop the spread of the virus. We closed down intermittently but have recently reopened with a drastically reduced number of persons working from the office. However, amidst these current challenges, we are still committed to helping those in need – now more than ever. Since visits to the field have been restricted, we have remotely and yet continuously stayed in touch with our clients and partners in the field.

These are our security measures to protect our clients and personell

Physical distancing remains one of the most effective ways to curb the spread of COVID-19. Therefore, all contacts with colleagues and clients now have to be virtual. For the absolute necessary physical contacts, personal protective equipment, such as face masks, hand sanitizers and hand gloves are being used.

This is how you can help us help the especially vulnerable and most endangered people

With your donation we supply food materials and financial aid to people who are already affected by diseases and disabilities and are therefore most at risk of COVID-19.

Your support enables us to provide personal protective equipment to health workers in different states of Nigeria who are on a daily basis presented with several potential COVID-19 cases.

Our focus

Health

We promote health, which is more than just fighting diseases. It is a holistic perspective on the prevention of illness and disability.

Inclusion

We encourage social inclusion by improving the mobility of people with disabilities and creating awareness on the dangers of stigmatization.

Mobility

We support persons with disabilities with assistive devices so that they can move their own lives forward.

Our Values

Humanity

Our service is to humanity. We believe that there is no greater way to making the world a better place than showing love to each other - especially to those who are oppressed and rejected.

Integrity

Our communication is factual, and our activities are real. While we make it a priority to represent actual information about the constituents of RedAid, we try to present these facts in a most dignifying way.

Transparency

RedAid Nigeria stands for the utmost transparency. With progress reports, financial audits, and regular updates on our website and social media platforms, we show that whatever funds we receive, we channel them to the purpose for which they have been given.
