Aisha Ibrahim’s house in Karu Village, a community in Abuja, Nigeria’s Federal Capital Territory (FCT), bears the scars of neglect and vulnerability. The faded, cracked walls and stagnant water pools remind her of the past floods that repeatedly ravaged the community.
The watermarks on the walls bring back painful memories from 2022 when she returned from a journey to find her home and her belongings washed away in one of the incidents.
“The first flood came when I was away. By the time I returned, my house was gone – everything was carried away, even a spoon I couldn’t find,” she recounted, her voice laden with pain.
