NGO Instills Moral Values In Children At Abuja IDP Camp
An NGO, Hope Raisers Global Foundation, has commenced inculcation of moral value and building self esteem in children at the Durumi Abuja Internally-Displaced Persons (IDP) camp.
Founder of the foundation, Mrs Nimi David-Imeh, disclosed this while distributing clothing purposely sewed for Christmas to the children at the camp last Sunday.
She said impacting moral value on the children would help in shaping their mindset and build their self worth, thus making them to become useful to themselves and the society.
David-Imeh noted that the children were not just at the camp with their parents on their own volition, but owing to the insecurity situation of the country.
According to her, the wish of the foundation is for the children to grow to become somebody that other people in the society would emulate.
She said the foundation had been in existence since 2017, adding that this was not the first time it would be distributing materials to the children and inculcating morals in them.
“We came out this Christmas season to show love to these children. We were here on December 2 to give them beautiful clothes; about 1,000 of them were given the clothes.
“We came back again on December 8 for Christmas party with the women. This was done in collaboration with another organisation. A total of 40 women were taken to a luxury hotel in Abuja here.
“We had a nice time there and the women were given stipends just to remove the weariness of being in this kind of situation/facility which is not so pleasant.
“These people left their natural abodes because of the security challenge currently facing the country. So we were here to take the stress off them and we gave them a good treat at the hotel.
