Yuletide: Group Donates Food Items, Cash To Orphanage Home

As part of its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, an anti-corruption organisation, the Network Against Corruption and Human Trafficking (NACAT), has adopted the Poorest of the Poor Rehabilitation Centre, commonly known as ANAWIM Home, as the annual beneficiary of its charity donations. NACAT has therefore donated food items, toiletries and cash to the centre.

ANAWIM Home, operated by a voluntary, non-political, and non-profit-making church body, the Missionary Sisters of the Poorest of the Poor (MSPP), dedicates itself to addressing the needs of the most vulnerable, irrespective of class, race, tribe, color, or religion.

This development took place yesterday during NACAT’s charitable visit to Anawim Home, situated in Bako, Gwawalada Area Council, Abuja.

Led by its executive director, Samson Tega, alongside Barrister Ovie Justice, director of Legal and Operations, and Stanley Ugabge, the operational manager, NACAT demonstrated its commitment as a pro-democracy civil society organisation by giving back to the society through the orphanage home.

In a heartfelt address to the centre, Tega, moved by the stories and impactful activities, declared that NACAT would officially adopt the centre as its annual CSR beneficiary.

He further revealed plans for the NGO to extend its support through the adoption of the centre for an upcoming school partnership programme scheduled to be unveiled next year.

Tega expressed gratitude to the centre, acknowledging that he initially anticipated meeting an orphanage but was pleasantly surprised to discover a substantial rehabilitation centre.

During her welcome address, Sister Augustina Malogun, the general coordinator of MSPP, provided the NACAT team with insights into the activities of the rehabilitation centre.

Highlighting its 27-year existence, she disclosed that the centre serves as a haven for less privileged individuals, encompassing orphans, those grappling with mental health challenges, abandoned infants and children, as well as young girls facing unwanted pregnancies and engaged in prostitution.

As part of efforts to check social vices and in fulfilment of its CSR, NACAT in 2022, held a massive sensitisation campaign in Unguwan Hausawa Kpaduma 2 Asokoro Extension Guzape district of the FCT, that centred on corruption, drug and human trafficking.
