Compassion in Action; CODEP Equip Communities in Tombura With Non-Food Necessities

The Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (CODEP) on Wednesday, 19th 2023, sent its team of humanitarian to Tambura County with a mission to distribute nonfood items to the returning population who were displaced due to the two-year conflict in Tambura County.
Mr. Ngbanisa David Ariyo the manager of humanitarian who doubles as the deputy director for CODEP, told Rurugene online newsletter, that the humanitarian team will first conduct registration of the most vulnerable returning IDPs who completely have no shelter and basic nonfood items.
Mr. Ariyo added that the exercise is targeting close to 200 individuals to benefit from the items.
He further said, “These items are supported by Caritas. There CODEP affirmed its commitment to helping rebuild life in the conflict-affected area of Tambura through its humanitarian intervention which remains a cornerstone for the organization” and the nonfood items including the tents, will help the returning population settle temporarily as they look to rebuild their destroyed building.
The items include mats, tents, and mosquito nets among others.
In April this year, CODEP launched a mission in Tambura County with the aim to build peace, reconcile and restore peaceful coexistence in the communities involved in the conflict.
