OVER 800 flood-impacted households in Bayelsa State have benefited from relief materials donated by a Non-Governmental Organization, Learning And Life Aid (LALA) Foundation in partnership with Heritage Bank.
Items such as mosquito nets, hoes, cutlasses, rain boots, carton of noodles and bags of rice, among others were presented to the flood victims in several impacted communities in Kolokuma/ Opokuma Local Government Area of the state.
The beneficiaries include the aged, People Living with Disabilities, PLWDA, farmers, widows and vulnerable people in the localities.
