There was a fundraiser for victims of Boko Haram at the Al-amin Dagash IDP Camp. This is in Maidiguri, Nigeria. The refugees are exposed to extreme and dire circumstance. Their housing and living circumstances are poor, e.g., thatched roof huts subject to a lot of leakages. A proposed solution through the fundraiser was to use tarpaulin to prevent further leaks. The donations were linked to here:
I received a comment from Ahmad:
Thank you for this insightful post, Scott. It’s really sad to see the difficult conditions in Al-Amin Dagash camp. The use of tarpaulins is such a simple yet effective way to help the refugees deal with the harsh weather. I hope people support the fundraiser to make a real impact. For anyone looking for tarpaulins, also lists tarpaulin suppliers in shrajah that can be helpful for such efforts. Every contribution, big or small, can make a difference!

As a note to that former article and someone who writes more on tarpaulins more than me, i.e., Ahmad, I would look into supporting his or other associated initiatives, as a consideration of contributing to the global Commons.
