Oma Life Rescue Foundation on Saturday, December 20, brought relief and festive cheer to no fewer than 1,000 vulnerable homes during its annual Food and Clothes Fiesta held at Chibiri, Kuje Area Council of the Federal Capital Territory (FCT).
The humanitarian outreach saw the distribution of essential food items and clothing materials, including bags of rice, tubers of yam, cartons of Indomie noodles and wrappers, aimed at supporting families to celebrate the Yuletide season with dignity.
Speaking at the event, the Chief Executive Officer of the foundation, Dr. Omanibe Blessing Ameh, said the initiative was not designed for public display but as a deliberate intervention to ease hardship among vulnerable households during the festive period.
“This is our annual event at the foundation, and this year we are in Chibiri. We are not here to show off but to support vulnerable homes and ensure they do not celebrate this season in lack,” she said.
According to Dr. Ameh, the foundation distributed about 300 bags of rice, 1,000 tubers of yam, 200 cartons of Indomie noodles and 300 wrappers, made possible through the support of partners and donors.
She emphasized that the foundation remains committed to humanitarian service, calling on well-meaning Nigerians to embrace charity as a means of bridging the gap between the privileged and the less privileged in society.
Residents of the community expressed gratitude to the foundation for the timely intervention, describing it as a lifeline for many families amid rising economic pressures.
Oma Life Rescue Foundation has consistently organized relief programmes across communities, reinforcing its mission to support vulnerable populations and promote compassion, especially during critical seasons like Christmas and New Year celebrations.
