Campaign details

Worthy Plan Empowerment Initiative has continued to provide mental health and psychosocial support in Damboa Central, Damboa Local Government Area of Borno State in NorthEast Nigeria, through sensitization, awareness, and referrals across camp and host communities.
During this reporting period, outpatient curative consultations were carried out in the camp and health facility in Damboa with the support of community health volunteers and a Roving Psychologist.

A total of 3,129 beneficiaries were reached with the aforementioned interventions, with the following breakdown and segregations. In Damboa Central, Damboa LGA (Boys 687, Girls 881, Men 595, and Women 966) while 1,125 individuals were reached through speaker messages on mental health sensitization and awareness, and mental health key messages to promote mental well-being.

Challenges:

• Performing the projects from self-funding, hence some mental services are weighty on
  WPEI to execute.
• Network and power issues most time affect reporting from Damboa LGA due to its
  location.
• Community Volunteers are not informed on mental health activities.

Recommendations:

• Capacity building for community volunteers.
• Coordinate with partners with a solar panel to enhance power generation to power laptop
  and phones for prompt reporting.
• Coordinate with the health sector and other partners for possible funding
