As part of her effort in bringing smile to the less privileged, a non Governmental Organization, Golden Charity Foundation (GCF) celebrated the New Year in grand style by distributing well-packaged cooked rice to over 100 children on the street of Gombe Local Government Area of Gombe State.
The exercise, which was led by the founder Shukurat Temitope Ibrahim, an indigene of Kwara State and a corp member serving in Gombe state and a dedicated team of volunteers, was an attestation to GCF’s commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities.
“The foundation’s New Year outreach builds on its long-standing tradition of giving. Just a week earlier, on December 26, 2024, GCF visited the City of Refuge Orphanage Home in Ilorin, Kwara State. The foundation delivered essential items, including clothes, biscuits, noodles, milk, and fresh fruits, spreading Christmas cheer to the children and the staff. Publicity Secretary Kolawole Abdulakeem Oluwadamilola, Welfare Directress Aishat Motunrayo Yusuf, and other executive members presented the donations with heartfelt speeches that inspired hope and encouragement.”
In their expressions, the children at both events expressed their gratitude through smiles and satisfaction which showed the transformative impact of these gestures.
“Over the years, GCF has earned a reputation for transparency and consistency in its philanthropic efforts. The foundation’s activities are backed by generous donors whose contributions are efficiently managed to directly benefit underserved communities.”
“GCF has also gained the trust of communities it serves by maintaining a clear and open communication channel, allowing donors and beneficiaries to see the tangible outcomes of its work. Testimonials from previous beneficiaries and endorsements from respected community leaders have further strengthened its credibility.”
Speaking on the initiatives, the founder, Shukurat Temitope Ibrahim said the goal of the foundation is to create a world where everyone feels loved and valued, especially during festive seasons, extending their gratitude to donors whose support enables the foundation to bring joy to those in need.
