John (not his real names) a household head of seven members lost his sight 10 years back. Currently aged 46 years relies on his 7 year old to aide his movements. The June –August 2018 conflict left him displaced and his home totally destroyed just like any other Nagero residents and together with his family ran for their safety. During an interview with him, he cannot hide his appreciation for LCED’s approach especially prioritising people like him for humanitarian intervention including emphasis on their participation in leadership roles. He says, he was selected among the few households and the project constructed a shelter that he now freely and safely lives in together with his family unlike before when he lived under trees. He was also selected to be part of the Relief Distribution Committee and his role was to listen to the community’s complaints and provide feedback to NGO staff. He also says that much as he still needs more assistance in terms of shelter NFIs, he is now safer and settled and looks at a brighter future ahead.
