Protectting The Rights And Dignity Of The Vulnerable/Marginallized Populations
COWACDI have a duty of care to the vulnerable/beneficiaries and a responsibility to ensure that the vulnerable/beneficiaries are treated with dignity and respect and that certain minimum standards of behaviors are observed. The goal is to create an environment free of sexual exploitation and abuse in humanitarian crises, through integrating the prevention of and response to sexual exploitation and abuse into the protection and assistance function of all humanitarian workers.
Humanity means that human suffering must be addressed wherever it is found, with particular attention to the most vulnerable.
Neutrality means that COWACDI must not favor any side in an armed conflict or other dispute.
Impartiality means that COWACDI’s Aid must be provided solely on the basis of need, giving priority to the most urgent cases of distress and making no adverse distinction on the basis of nationality, race, gender, religious believes, class or political opinion.
Independence means COWACDI’s action must be autonomous from the political, economic, military or other objectives that any actor may hold with regard to areas where humanitarian actions is being implemented.

Concern for Women and Children Development Foundation (COWACDI) in Partnership with Christian Aid (CAID) and Funded from World Food Programme (WFP) will focus on a selected fruits tree species to be produced such as Moringa (Moringa oleifera), Guava (Psidium guajava), Blackcurrant (Ribes nigrum), Mango (Mangifera indica) and orange (Citrus sinensis). These selected types of fruit tree species have a nutritive content such as vitamins (C, A, B6, and E,) Protein, Carbohydrate as well as provides health benefits, they can also be served for household consumption as well as for commercial purposes thereby generating an income for the household. From the angle of climate change, it can serve as shelter, produce large vegetative cover, and assist in mitigating the effect of climate change. These selected tree species have the potential for soil adaptability and can produce fruits effectively within the target location (Malakyariri Ward of Mafa LGA, Borno state) due to the fertile nature of the soil structure and composition.
At COWACDI sustaining and promoting various means of livelihood is our aim and goals, achieving such goals is big enough to put a matured smile on our faces and joy in our humble hearts.
