In a remarkable demonstration of humanitarian commitment, a non-governmental organization Faith Adekunle Charity Mission (FACM) has provided financial assistance to over 200 vulnerable individuals residing in Abuja, including widows, orphans, and unemployed youths.
This initiative according to the organization aligns with its dedication to complementing the Nigerian government’s efforts to mitigate security threats through socio-economic empowerment.
Speaking during the empowerment programme on Sunday in Abuja, the founder of Faith Adekunle Charity Mission Engr. Adefunke Adekunle, emphasized the importance of the initiative, stating, that security is not just about military intervention; it’s about ensuring people have the resources to lead dignified lives.
Recognizing that financial hardship often contributes to instability, the NGO said it has taken a proactive stance by addressing economic vulnerabilities at their root.
Adekunle added, “by offering financial support, the organization hopes to create a ripple effect by providing beneficiaries with the means to improve their livelihoods, thereby reducing susceptibility to crime and fostering long term stability.
“By empowering the most vulnerable in our society, we are taking a meaningful step toward a safer and more secure Nigeria,” she stated.
Beneficiaries have expressed deep appreciation for the assistance. One recipient, George Janet, a widow, shared her gratitude: “This support has given me the opportunity to start a small business and provide for my children. Faith Adekunle Charity Mission has been a blessing to us”.
Another beneficiary, Joseph Sani an unemployed youth, remarked, With this help, I can finally pursue a vocational training program. It’s more than financial aid—it’s a lifeline.
FACM initiative underscores the critical role of non-kinetic strategies in addressing security challenges, proving that social interventions can be just as powerful as traditional security measures.
“As the organization continues its efforts, many hope that such initiatives would inspire broader collaborations between civil society and the government to enhance national stability”.
