An Islamic charity organisation, Habiba Charity Foundation continued its humanitarian services as it fed residents of Ilaje Otumara community, near Costain, under Lagos Mainland Local Council Development Area of Lagos state.
Ilaje-Otumara, a neglected community in Lagos, Nigeria’s foremost commercial city, has an estimated population of almost a million people including women and children.
The program focused on distributing cooked foods to children and adults, underscoring Habiba Charity Foundation’s unwavering commitment to dieting, empowerment and community development.
As its mandate, Habiba Charity Foundation was established to cater for the welfare of downtrodden, prison inmates, juveniles and orphans.
During the feeding programme, the founder of the Habiba Charity Foundation, Alh. Abdulrasheed Sunmola, in a statement stated that feeding the residents of Ilaje Otumara community is a big deal considering the economic condition of the country as many Nigerians find it difficult to eat.
”Habiba Charity Foundation embarks on this feeding programme to give succour to Nigerians who are living in Ilaje-Otumara community, near Costain. Feeding is the most important thing in every man’s life and we must make sure everybody can eat good food. Feeding the less privilege shouldn’t be the duty of our foundation alone but all meaningful Nigerians.
”I am using this medium to call on all wealthy Nigerians to come to the aid of the poor and contribute to the development of several communities. Let us help ourselves and feed the poor. For all of us at Habiba Charity Foundation, we shall continue to cater for the needs of the vulnerable,” he said.
During the feedback, several residents appreciated Habiba Charity Foundation for feeding the residents with good food and appealed for many humanitarian gestures to the environment.
Recall that Habiba Charity Foundation has constructed many structures, sunk boreholes and other laudable projects across several Correctional centres and communities in the Southwestern States of the country.
