Residents of Chibiri community in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) received food and clothing items from the Omalife Rescue Foundation, a non-governmental organisation focused on poverty alleviation, child care and emergency relief.
The distribution was part of the foundation’s 2025 Annual Food and Clothes Fiesta, an outreach designed to support vulnerable families and ease the burden of economic hardship. A large turnout of beneficiaries, including women, children and the elderly, collected assorted food items and clothing materials to help meet their basic needs during the yuletide season.
The founder, Dr Mrs Omanibe Sanusi, said the initiative was driven by compassion and a commitment to restoring hope and dignity to the less privileged. She noted that poverty, hunger and inadequate child care remain major challenges, stressing the critical role of individuals and non-governmental organisations in complementing government efforts.
Dr Sanusi explained that Chibiri was selected for the 2025 outreach after an assessment revealed significant needs among residents, particularly widows, orphans and low-income households. She reaffirmed the foundation’s commitment to expanding its programmes in child welfare, skills support and emergency response.
Community leaders expressed appreciation for the timely gesture. The Chief of Chibiri, Chief Alhaji Ishaku Sakokwai, and the Onu of Igala Kuje, Chief Alhaji Hassan Khalid, who were present, commended the foundation and prayed for blessings upon all contributors.
Beneficiaries lauded the organisers, stating the support would help cushion the effects of current economic challenges. The event was conducted orderly by foundation volunteers to ensure fairness and transparency.
Omalife Rescue Foundation stated it would continue partnering with stakeholders to reach more communities in line with its humanitarian objectives.
