Ungayeki esimeni esiphuthumayo, kepha qala iphrojekthi eshiya uphawu lwaphakade ezweni. Le phrojekthi yokuqala yezezimali zeRed Cross ukuxhasa imibono yezokunakekelwa kwempilo emhlabeni jikelele.

Emhlabeni wonke, izidingo zosizo zikhula, futhi lezo zidingo ngeke zinyamalale uma sekuphelile inkinga. Imiphumela yezingxabano nezinhlekelele ziqhubeka amashumi eminyaka, isikhathi sokuphila ngisho. Emhlabeni wonke, kunabantu abayizigidi ezingu-90 abakhubazekile ngokomzimba, abadinga ukusekelwa ukuze bavuselele ukuhamba kwabo. Kuphela okungamaphesenti angu-10 kuphela ukuthola lokho kusekelwa. Emazweni asathuthuka nakwebuthakathaka, iKomidi Lamazwe Omhlaba We-Red Cross yikhulu lomhlaba jikelele wemisebenzi yokuvuselela ngokomzimba. Manje, i-ICRC iqala uhlelo olusha olusha, ngokubambisana nebhizinisi kanye nohulumeni kazwelonke, ukwandisa lo msebenzi.

Kakade, ICRC isiza abafana njengoMekidian Diallo oneminyaka eyi-13, olahlekelwe yimilenze yakhe njengengane, ukuhamba futhi. I-Mekidian ilashwa e-ICRC esekelwe isiKhungo seNational Rehabilitation Centre eBamako, eMali.

 

"Lapho ngifika eGanadougou, angikwazi ukuhamba" kusho uMekidian. "Manje, bangisizile ukuba ngihambe. Ngifuna ukuya esikoleni futhi ekugcineni ngibe uthisha. "

Manje ukuthi angakwazi ukuhamba futhi, izinhlelo zikaMekidian zesikhathi esizayo yinjongo engokoqobo. Futhi abanengqondo hhayi nje ngaye, kodwa ngomnotho wezwe lakhe.

Abantu abangakwazi ukufinyelela usizo ukuze bavuselele ukuhamba kwabo kaningi abakwazi ukusebenza, futhi abakwazi ukuhlinzeka ngemindeni yabo. Ngaphandle kokusekelwa kwe-ICRC, kungenzeka ukuthi kwenzeke kubaba oneminyaka eyishumi nesishiyagalolunye, u-Issa El Hadj Kobo, waseNiger, olahlekelwe umlenze ngemuva kwesilonda sokudubula.

"Ngolunye usuku, othile wangicela ukuthi kwenzekani," usho kanje. "Ngamtshela, futhi wangibonisa ukuthi ngingathola kuphi ukwelashwa eNiamey. Kwase kuthi eNiamey, i-ICRC yangifaka ngomlenze wesisu. "

I-'Impact Bond' entsha ye-ICRC ihlose ukusiza abantu abaningi abengeziwe njengo-Mekidian no-Issa. Esikhathini esiyiminyaka emihlanu, kuzokwakhiwa izikhungo ezintathu ezintsha zokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo, e Nigeria, iDemocratic Republic of Congo, neMali, ehlinzeka ngezinsizakalo ezinkulungwaneni zabantu.

Abasebenzi abasha bazoqeqeshwa ku-physiotherapy, nokuthi bangayenza kanjani izitho zomzimba. Indlela yokuxhaswa yizwe kuqala: izimali zokuqala zivela emkhakheni wangasese, futhi zizokhokhelwa uhulumeni kazwelonke, uma imiphumela yomsebenzi ihlolwe futhi ihlolwe.

I-ICRC ilindele ukuthi lo mfanekiso omusha wokutshala izimali ube yisibonelo sendlela yokwehlukanisa imali yokusiza ngesikhathi sokuthi kukhona ukucindezela okukhulayo kwizimali ezikhona. Kodwa ngaphezu kwakho konke, lolu hlelo olusha kufanele lwenze lokho isazi sezinzwa ze-ICRC uMajor Choghal esinikeze umsebenzi wakhe ngoku: ukubuyisela abantu futhi.

"Ukusebenza esikhungweni sokuvuselela umzimba nokubona abantu kulesi sizwe kuyabuhlungu," uyavuma u-Mohamed. "

"Sizama futhi siwasekele ngempela futhi sibasize bavuselele emphakathini. Ngoba uma iziguli zingasukuma, zizwa zihle futhi zizizwe zikwazi ukusebenza futhi. "

Eqinisweni, izinzuzo zokuvuselelwa ngokomzimba zingenza okungaphezu kwalokho okwenza kube ngcono ukwenza umsebenzi, njengo-Ibrahim Dayabou waseNiger owaziyo.

"Sasihlanza indlu. Ngathatha i-grenade. Ngacabanga ukuthi iyidlayizi, kodwa yaqhuma esandleni sami. Yileyo ndlela engilahlekelwa ngayo le ngalo.

 

"Lesi yisikhathi sokuqala sokubuyela endlini ngoba kwenzeke."

U-Ibrahim wathola ingalo yokufakelwa esikhungweni sokuhlunyeleliswa kwezimilo eNiamey, futhi ube ngomunye wabasubathi abahamba phambili ezweni lakhe, encintisana kumaParalympics eBrazil ngonyaka odlule. "Iphupho lami ukuba ngu-Usain Bolt waseNiger," kusho u-Ibrahim. "Futhi ngishaye nerekhodi lakhe ngelinye ilanga."
