Livebridge Extends Aid To Karmajiji IDPs, Feeds Over 1,000

As part of its corporate social responsibility, Livebridge Properties and Investment Limited has extended humanitarian support to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) at the Karmajiji camp in Abuja, in celebration of the birthday of its Group Managing Director/CEO, Dr Nwaneri Obinna Flaker.

The initiative provided free medical care to more than 1,000 residents, alongside the distribution of food items and other essential supplies, particularly for children, women, and the elderly.

During the outreach, Dr. Flaker underscored the need for corporate organisations to complement government efforts in supporting vulnerable communities.

“The government cannot do everything alone, and that’s why we have adopted this IDP camp as part of our corporate social responsibility. On a day of my birthday celebration like this, it’s a blessing to show love to the less privileged,” he said.

He added that the company is committed to aiding the most vulnerable, especially those unable to access healthcare or afford mobility aids such as wheelchairs.

“Many cannot afford medical treatment, and some require mobility aids. We believe that supporting them will help ease their burdens,” he noted.

Also speaking, Faith Nwaneri Obinna, Director at Livebridge Properties, highlighted the importance of bridging the gap between privileged and underprivileged communities. She stressed that women’s empowerment remains key to reducing poverty.

“If women are given skills and resources, they can generate income and support their families. The government should invest in skill acquisition programmes for women, as they can multiply whatever they receive,” she said.

On her part, Alice Ejembi, Head of Operations at Livebridge Properties, disclosed that similar interventions had been carried out in other IDP camps, including Kaura.

“It’s not just about feeding them; we also conduct medical check-ups, provide essential items, and donate mobility aids like wheelchairs,” she explained.

Beneficiaries of the outreach expressed heartfelt appreciation to Livebridge Properties for their continued support. One of the residents, Muhammad Dantini, commended the company for its consistent interventions over the years.

“Livebridge Properties has been standing with us for a long time. Their support in healthcare, food, and other supplies has touched many lives here in Karmajiji. We pray that God continues to bless them for their kindness,” he said.
