The Convexity Humanitarian Aid Transfer Solution (CHATS), in partnership with the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Shiroro Division, delivered a free medical outreach today to displaced families at the Gwada Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) Camp in Niger State.
The outreach was a lifeline for many, especially the most vulnerable residents who have long struggled with limited access to healthcare. For those living in and around the camp, the event offered not just treatment but also a renewed sense of care, dignity, and hope.
Leading the initiative was Mr. Daniel Sunday Amupitan, Head of Operations at Convexity Technology Limited’s Abuja office. He spoke passionately about the organization’s mission to use technology to make humanitarian efforts more impactful and inclusive.
“At Convexity, we believe technology should serve humanity,” he said. “This outreach is part of our commitment to making sure aid gets to the right people at the right time. Real people are in real need, and it’s our job to show up. We’re thankful to the Nigerian Red Cross for walking this path with us.”
On the ground to support the effort was Mr. Aminu Babafada, Secretary of the Nigerian Red Cross Society, Shiroro Division, who praised the collaboration and emphasized the human impact of such partnerships.
“Today, we saw people smile again—some receiving medical attention for the first time in months,” he said. “This is what humanitarian service looks like. We’re proud to work with Convexity to reach those often forgotten.”
Volunteer healthcare workers provided basic medical consultations, treatments, and referrals, meeting a wide range of needs, from common infections to more pressing health issues. Mothers with children, the elderly, and young men and women came forward with quiet hope, grateful for the care being offered freely.
One camp resident, Amina, holding her child close after a check-up, whispered, “I’ve been praying for help like this. I don’t have money for hospitals. Today, God answered.”
The event is a powerful reminder that when innovation meets compassion, lives can be touched in meaningful ways. For the hundreds who walked through the doors of the makeshift clinic today, it wasn’t just a medical outreach—it was a message that they haven’t been forgotten.
