On October 15th and 16th 2012, Nollywood actress Genevieve Nnaji, and the MAVIN family comprising, Don Jazzy, Dr. Sid, and Tiwa Savage provided succour to victims of the recent flood disaster in Delta state as they paid a visit to the displaced persons’ camp at Asaba where relief supplies and other essentials were presented.
The flood, which has rendered hundreds of thousands of Nigerians homeless and without access to basic necessities of life where available, is the worst in recent history. The Federal Government announced measures to ameliorate the financial burden on states devastated by the flood even as concerned citizens and corporate organizations have made donations in cash and kind.
Joining the fray and pulling the weight of their popularity to bring awareness to the plight of these Nigerians in dire conditions, Tiwa, Don Jazzy, Dr Sid and Genevieve have shown that they feel the sufferings of Nigerians as they pass through this trying phase as government alone cannot bear the burden.
The Reach Out Initiative, a program kick-started by the stars themselves will be utilized to get a lot more people involved, both within and outside the country in donating help, either through relief supplies or financial donations.
Genevieve: “This is just the beginning, as our country has never experienced anything like this. The government is doing the best they can, but we as citizens, can also partake in helping the situation in the best way we can. The plan is to get more people involved, and visit more relief camps in the affected states.”
