“Every end of the year, House of Justice hosts an annual Summit
and Banquet that pulls together a national and international
audience from all walks of life. In 2020, we have had to substitute
that event for the more urgent and pertinent task of reinforcing
the value of human life in Nigeria.

“Our first call is Southern Kaduna, an area that has perpetually
been in the news for mind-boggling destruction of lives, property,
cultural heritage and dignity. The long term effects of the
violence has left many hungry, homeless, without means of
livelihood and traumatized. The COVID-19 pandemic has met a
bleeding community that is gasping for existence.” the text reads
in part

The human rights lawyer, Ballason, said Justice mustn’t be
pursued in courts only, hence, the organization has embarked on a
project to rebuild Southern Kaduna Communities and restore
education of their children by raising the sum of N100 Million

She said, “As a public interest firm, we understand that our
pursuit of justice in the court room will make no meaning if the
bond of humanity outside the courts is broken.

“It is in the light of this that House of Justice leads the
Southern Kaduna Resilience Fund (SKARF) Project as an effort to
join in rebuilding the communities, restore livelihoods and
education for the children of the affected areas.

“From 1st December, 2020 to 30 November 2021, House of Justice
and its present 6,477 partners across 25 countries will raise the
sum of N100 Million naira ($250,000) to support the rebuilding of
homes, livelihood and education in Southern Kaduna. House of
Justice as an organization commits to a 5-year education support
from January 2021- December 2025 as its corporate social
responsibility.”

Furthermore, House of Justice said it has partnered with two
Non-governmental Organizations and is calling on individuals and
other organizations to support the project.

According to the statement, the most pressing need of the
Southern Kaduna community is to go back to their homes as over 100
communities have been taken over by bandits

She said, “While we recognize that the amount and commitment is
modest, we do not underestimate the generosity of the human spirit
and the fact that it is only in extending our humanity to others
that anyone truly lives. It is on that note that we invite you to
join with us to replace tears and suffering with dignity and
hope.

“House of Justice is honoured to work with two community NGOs,
the Resilient Aid and Dialogue Initiative (RADI) and Kunak
Foundation as implementing partners on this mission and calls on
organizations, corporations and individuals to support this
initiative and give of themselves and their resources. Every thing
of value that you give can and will make a difference.

“The needs assessment we carried out has shown that the biggest
need and priority of the victims in Southern Kaduna is to be able
to return back to their homes. As it stands residents of over 100
communities have been sacked and those communities have been
occupied by bandits and marauders.”

The House of Justice also called on President Buhari to rise to
the occasion in line with his constitutional mandate to secure the
people of Southern Kaduna.

They also called for support of volunteer psychologists,
counselors

The statement reads in part, “We call on the President and
Commander in Chief of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, President
Muhammadu Buhari to rise to his constitutional responsibility as
enshrined in sections 14 and 17 of the 1999 Constitution of the
Federal Republic of Nigeria to provide security and welfare and to
ensure that governmental actions are humane and anchored on the
ideals of freedom, equality and justice not just in Southern Kaduna
but in all parts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

“We request for volunteer counselors, psychologists, trauma
assistants and teachers who can work in camps and the affected
communities.We kindly request for donations that will go into
rebuilding houses in the communities and for the support of means
of livelihood and education.

“We will leave no one behind on this mission. On 18 December,
2020 House of Justice Crew Members and Volunteers will lead their
commitment at a Cocktail. From 19-22 December 2020 we shall work
with children and teenagers who will lead a resource mobilization
drive to share their food, clothes and education materials with
children like them in the affected communities.

“On behalf of House of Justice and the implementing partner
organizations, we thank you for joining us in this mission of
rebuilding dignity and hope. Long live Kaduna state. Long Live
Nigeria And may God Heal the World.”

Other signatories to the text are the Co-founder of Resilient
Aid & Dialogue Initiative (RADi), Alheri Bawa Magaji and the C.E.O.
of Kunak Foundation, Bavoshiya Gloria Nyan Esq.
