Meaningful humanitarian action begins with listening to the voices of the people we serve.

As part of the Locally Led Flood and Cholera Emergency Response for Vulnerable Communities in Monguno, Magumeri, and Jere LGAs of Borno State, the FOURCi team facilitated a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with women in Jere LGA, creating a safe and inclusive space for participants to share their experiences, priorities, and concerns related to flood and cholera risks.

The discussion provided valuable community insights into the challenges women face in accessing safe water, sanitation, hygiene services, and emergency support. It also highlighted locally driven solutions that will help shape more responsive, inclusive, and effective humanitarian interventions.

At FOURCi, we believe that the most sustainable solutions are those informed by the people who experience the challenges firsthand. By placing women and communities at the center of decision-making, we are strengthening accountability, promoting inclusion, and ensuring that every intervention reflects the realities and priorities of those we serve.

When communities lead the conversation, stronger and more resilient solutions follow.

oday marked yet another significant milestone in the growing partnership between FOURCi and the Yobe Sahara Restoration Project Drive (YSRDP).

The Chief of Operations of FOURCi, Dr. Bala Gabriel Abraham (PhD), together with the entire FOURCi team, was deeply honoured to receive the Project Coordinator of YSRDP Muhammad Musa and his delegation on what they described as a return courtesy visit following FOURCi's earlier visit to their office in July.

Beyond reciprocating the gesture, the visit reaffirmed YSRDP's strong commitment to fostering a long-term strategic partnership with FOURCi in advancing impactful environmental and development initiatives.

A major highlight of the visit was the presentation of an Award of Recognition from the Yobe State Government to Dr. Bala Gabriel Abraham (PhD) in recognition of his outstanding leadership, technical support, and strategic partnership in advancing land restoration, climate resilience, and sustainable environmental development. This prestigious honour reflects a shared commitment to building resilient communities and promoting sustainable development.

Receiving the award with gratitude, Dr. Abraham expressed his profound appreciation to the Government and people of Yobe State, under the visionary leadership of His Excellency, Governor Mai Mala Buni, for recognising excellence and creating opportunities for meaningful collaboration. He also commended the exceptional team leading YSRDP, describing them as a group of dedicated, innovative, and forward-thinking young professionals whose passion and commitment continue to drive transformational change across the state.

He further acknowledged Governor Buni's foresight in identifying and empowering dynamic young leaders with the capacity, integrity, and vision to position Yobe State as a model for environmental restoration, climate action, and sustainable development in Nigeria.

As FOURCi and YSRDP continue to strengthen this unique partnership, both organisations remain committed to leveraging innovation, technical expertise, and collaborative action to deliver lasting impact for communities, ecosystems, and future generations.

Together, we are not just restoring landscapes—we are restoring hope, building resilience, and shaping a more sustainable future.

Strengthening Community Defences Against Cholera Through Timely WASH Support. 💚

Protecting communities during a public health emergency requires more than rapid response—it demands the right tools, trusted local leadership, and sustained community engagement.

As part of the Locally Led Flood and Cholera Emergency Response for Vulnerable Communities in Monguno, Magumeri, and Jere LGAs of Borno State, the FOURCi team reached Goni-Kachallari Community in Jere LGA with an integrated package of life-saving WASH interventions designed to reduce the risk of cholera and other water-borne diseases.

A total of 128 vulnerable households received Aquatabs, handwashing soap, and detergent to support safe household water treatment, promote proper hygiene practices, and improve household cleanliness during the heightened cholera outbreak. Alongside the distribution, families were engaged on the importance of treating drinking water, washing hands with soap at critical times, and maintaining safe sanitation practices to protect their health.

To further strengthen community preparedness, FOURCi also provided the Bulama of Goni-Kachallari Community with essential disinfection and sanitation kits, including chlorine, knapsack sprayers, personal protective equipment (PPE), waste bins, wheelbarrows, and sanitation tools. These resources will support coordinated environmental sanitation and rapid community-level response, ensuring that local leaders are equipped to help safeguard public health.

This integrated approach reflects our commitment to placing communities at the center of humanitarian action—combining essential supplies, practical knowledge, and local leadership to build stronger, healthier, and more resilient communities.

At FOURCi, we believe that sustainable humanitarian impact is achieved when communities are equipped not only to respond to emergencies but also to prevent them.

Together with our partners, we are protecting lives, promoting dignity, and strengthening resilience—one community at a time.

Delivering Life-Saving Hygiene Support, One Household at a Time.
Access to safe water and good hygiene practices is one of the most effective defenses against cholera and other water-borne diseases.

As part of the Locally Led Flood and Cholera Emergency Response for Vulnerable Communities in Monguno, Magumeri, and Jere LGAs of Borno State, FOURCi distributed Aquatabs, handwashing soap, and detergent to 128 vulnerable households in Lawanti Community, Magumeri LGA, providing families with essential supplies to improve household hygiene and protect their health during the heightened cholera outbreak.

Beyond the distribution of hygiene materials, the exercise served as an opportunity to reinforce critical public health messages. Households received practical guidance on safe household water treatment using Aquatabs, the importance of handwashing at critical times, safe sanitation practices, and everyday hygiene behaviors that help prevent the spread of cholera, acute watery diarrhea, and other water-borne diseases.

By combining essential hygiene supplies with community-based health education, this intervention is helping families adopt safer practices, improve household cleanliness, and reduce their vulnerability to disease outbreaks. It also strengthens the resilience of communities by ensuring that vulnerable households have both the knowledge and the resources needed to protect themselves and their loved ones.

At FOURCi, we believe that effective humanitarian response extends beyond immediate assistance—it equips communities with practical solutions that safeguard health, preserve dignity, and strengthen resilience for the future.

Together with our partners, we are helping communities stay healthy, protect safe water, and build a stronger first line of defense against cholera.

Supporting Communities with Essential Sanitation and Disinfection Supplies to Strengthen Cholera Preparedness. 💚Preparedness begins with ensuring that communities have the right tools to respond effectively.

As part of the Locally Led Flood and Cholera Emergency Response for Vulnerable Communities in Monguno, Magumeri, and Jere LGAs of Borno State, the FOURCi team visited Lawanti Community in Magumeri LGA to provide essential disinfection and sanitation kits to the Lawan of Lawanti Community, reinforcing community-based efforts to prevent and respond to cholera outbreaks.

The support included chlorine for environmental disinfection, knapsack sprayers, heavy-duty gloves, rubber boots, protective overalls, industrial face masks, waste bins, wheelbarrows, buckets with lids, brooms, rakes, shovels, and other critical sanitation materials. These resources will strengthen community-led sanitation activities, environmental hygiene, and rapid response efforts aimed at reducing the risk of disease transmission.

By supporting local structures with the resources they need, this initiative reinforces a coordinated and locally led approach to public health emergencies, ensuring that communities are better prepared to safeguard lives, maintain healthier environments, and respond swiftly when risks arise.

At FOURCi, we remain committed to working alongside communities and partners to deliver timely, people-centred humanitarian assistance that strengthens resilience and protects the dignity of those most at risk.

Together, we are supporting communities with the tools they need to prevent outbreaks, protect public health, and build a more resilient future.

🚨 FIELD UPDATE: FOURCi ON THE GROUND IN MONGUNO — FIGHTING CHOLERA TOGETHER 🚨

This week, FOURCi's Chief of Operations, Dr. Bala Gabriel Abraham (PhD), together with our WASH Coordinator, led a field visit to Monguno LGA — one of the cholera hotspots in Borno State. 💧🏥

Fighting cholera in a rural community like Monguno is not a one-man job. It takes REAL community and stakeholder engagement to make sure no one — absolutely no one — is left behind. Because if even one household is left out, we cannot fully curtail the spread. ⚠️

That's why our engagement on ground goes beyond just distributing supplies. It includes:

🗣️ Door-to-door household awareness and dialogue
🕌 Engaging religious and traditional leaders as trusted voices
📻 Community radio messaging in Hausa, Kanuri & Shuwa
👂 Listening to and correcting rumours/misinformation about cholera
🚰 Hygiene and safe water demonstrations at water points and markets
👩‍👧 Involving women's groups and youth structures
📋 A community feedback channel so every voice is heard

No single organisation can do this alone — and FOURCi was glad to see partners already on ground working hard to reduce the spread of cholera in Monguno! 🤝

Our team's visit started at the Primary Health Care (PHC) facility, where a Triage and Isolation Centre has been set up. There, we met dedicated doctors and nurses from MSF and IRC already saving lives on the frontline. 👏

As part of our commitment to this response, FOURCi pledged to support the Isolation Centre with the services of a dedicated Nurse for the next THREE MONTHS — strengthening case management, child health & nutrition screening, and referral support right where it's needed most. 🩺👶

We're not starting from zero. FOURCi already has boots on the ground in Monguno:

👥 10 Community-Based Hygiene Promoters, who are:
• Going door-to-door to promote handwashing with soap and safe water treatment
• Demonstrating correct use of Aquatabs and water storage
• Distributing IEC materials (posters, leaflets) in local languages
• Leading community dialogue sessions and answering questions
• Identifying and referring suspected cholera cases early
• Supporting caregivers with basic hygiene and nutrition messaging

🧴 3 Community-Based Decontaminators, who are:
• Disinfecting cholera hotspots and affected households
• Spraying chlorine solution at public spaces, latrines and water points
• Safely managing and disposing of contaminated waste materials
• Supporting environmental sanitation immediately after case identification
• Protecting communities from further environmental spread

FOURCi is fully committed to working hand-in-hand with MSF, IRC and other partners until we END the spread of cholera in Monguno. 💪

Our team also held a very engaging meeting with key community leaders in Monguno, encouraging them to rally their people behind this fight. Their support is priceless — because when leaders speak, communities listen. 🙌

And there's more coming! FOURCi will soon be distributing Aquatabs, WASH kits, and Chlorine to reinforce household-level protection across Monguno. 📦💧

Together — with government, MSF, IRC, communities and YOU — we can stop cholera in its tracks. 🌍❤️

On Wednesday last week, FOURCi was honored to welcome the World Food Programme (WFP) team to our office for an Organizational Capacity Assessment (OCA) and capacity-building engagement.

At FOURCi, we believe that organizational assessments are more than evaluation exercises—they are opportunities to strengthen institutional systems, enhance accountability, reinforce transparency, and cultivate the trust that enables meaningful collaboration.

As a community-driven humanitarian and development organization, we remain committed to continuously strengthening our governance, operational effectiveness, and institutional capacity to deliver accountable, inclusive, and impactful programmes for the communities we serve.

We sincerely appreciate the World Food Programme WFP team for their constructive engagement, insightful discussions, and technical support throughout the assessment process. Such engagements are instrumental in promoting mutual learning, strengthening institutional resilience, and laying the foundation for effective partnerships that deliver sustainable outcomes.

FOURCi values collaboration built on shared principles, accountability, and a commitment to community-driven solutions. We look forward to strengthening our relationship with WFP and working together to advance humanitarian and development efforts that create lasting, positive change.

Stronger institutions build stronger partnerships, and together, stronger partnerships create greater impact for communities.
