A non-governmental organisation, Faith Adekunle Charity Mission (FACM) has provided financial assistance to over 200 vulnerable individuals residing in Abuja, including widows, orphans, and unemployed youths.
According to the organisation, the initiative aligned with its dedication to complementing the Federal Government’s efforts to mitigate security threats through socio-economic empowerment.
Speaking during the empowerment programme on Sunday in Abuja, Founder of Faith Adekunle Charity Mission, Engr. Adefunke Adekunle, emphasised the importance of the initiative, saying that security was not just about military intervention but also about ensuring people have the resources to lead dignified lives.
While recognising that financial hardship often contributes to instability, Adekunle said the organisation has taken a proactive stance by addressing economic vulnerabilities at their root.
Adekunle added: “By offering financial support, the organisation hopes to create a ripple effect by providing beneficiaries with the means to improve their livelihoods, thereby reducing susceptibility to crime and fostering long term stability.
