Children’s Home Donates Palliatives To Abuja Widows

In the spirit of the Sallah celebration and to cushion the effects of the current economic hardship in the country, the Al-Ansar Children’s Home has distributed palliatives to over 200 widows in Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).

The home also organised a special Sallah celebration for orphans, vulnerable children and other members of the community.

The event, which also served to commemorate the Children’s Day, featured a variety of fun-filled games for the children, as well as spiritual talks aimed at promoting love, care and devotion to Allah.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Sa’adatu Umar, commended the gesture extended to widows by the home and called on other philanthropists and corporate organisations to support its efforts in caring for orphans and other less privileged members of society.

Speaking at the event, the consultant to Al-Ansar Children’s Home, Ustaz Yunus Salahudeen, said the home had consistently carried out humanitarian outreach during festive periods by supporting widows, orphans and persons living with disabilities.

He expressed gratitude to donors who have continued to support the home’s activities and assist orphans and widows under its care.

Salahudeen appealed to other philanthropists and corporate organisations to partner with the home, assuring them that every child under its care would have access to quality education and proper upbringing.
