I spoke to Mavis , co-founder of the house of hope orphanage which CamWomen has been sponsoring and working with for the past years. It is sad to see that even little children, orphans, are going through the psychological trauma caused by the crisis.

I also stumbled upon another report from journalist Mimi Mefo describing how a pregnant women had to give birth in a camp after fleeing their villages…

They got here without dresses and feeding is a problem. You can help via: 675956204 pic.twitter.com/VpkdYfu6cJ
