Wafrica was created to assist steemians from across West Africa. Some of these countries include Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, Gambia, etc.

Most of these countries have financial challenges, it can be quite discouraging when people from these regions are encouraged to join Steemit but do not get curated. @Wafrica is working on this issue.

Few weeks after the @wafrica account was created, it was observed that it was embraced by many of Africans.

Certain places in Northern Nigeria have been plagued with the menace of terrorism. This has rendered a lot of people homeless As they have fled their homes for safety. @wafrica sent delegates to the Internally displaced people and provided them with cash, food and provisions.

On our last visit, the displaced victims pleaded that we buy mats for them. We asked why mats and not mattresses, they replied that the room where they live has a leaking roof. Mats can be easily sun dried if it gets soaked. They also complained about mosquitoes in the neighborhood therefore resulting to malaria.

We thought about changing the roofing sheets of the building in order to combat these challenges that they face, but funds are needed.

We decided to buy the mats and to prevent the spread of malaria that is plaguing them we have a plan to purchase mosquito nets and insecticides.

Currently, we have 5 mats donated by @prettyjules158 so we are applying to @fundition to support us with $800.

The $800 could be spent on additional mats, mosquito nets and insecticides.

Mats comes in different sizes. There are small, medium and big.

TOTAL BUDGETS

budget for 95 mats:

Small sizes: 1,300naira ×15 = 19,500 naira($55)

Medium sizes: 2,500 naira × 40= 100,000 naira($286)

Large sizes: 3,500 naira × 30 = 105,000 naira ($300)

Total : 19,500 naira + 100,000 naira + 105,000 naira = 224,500 naira

($641)

For mosquito net (15):

3,000 naira × 15 = 45,000 naira

For insect appellant (20):

500 naira × 20 = 10,000 naira

Total:

224,500 naira + 45,000 naira + 10,000 naira = 279,500 naira ($ 778)

Proof of work so far....

Conclusion:

We believe that with the help of fundition we would be able to accomplish this project. The mats would provide a bit of warmth for the displaced victims and enable them live a stress free life.
