A Christian Organisation, the Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo Ministries International (GSWMI) has said it has provided succour to over 5,000 less-privileged persons since it started operations in 2020.
The organisation stated that its ministry started its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities on April 12, 2020, during the COVID-19 lockdown with the mission to spread the love of Christ by meeting people’s welfare needs.
The Head of the ministry, Pastor Gbenga Samuel-Wemimo, who made this known, said since inception in 2020, the GSWMI-CSR has spread throughout Canada, the U.S., United Kingdom, France, Ghana, Dubai, and multiple locations in Nigeria.
Samuel-Wemimo said the vision of the organisation was to bring the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and all its benefits to every believer and the world at large.
He said the organisation has put in efforts to provide medical and educational aid among others to the less-privileged, as they deliberately look for communities where there are a lot of poor and needy people.

Speaking further, he said the organisation has a scholarship scheme that caters for the school fees of indigent pupils and students from primary school to the University.
“Currently, we have students in Ghana, Nigeria and other countries benefiting from this scheme”.
On her part, the head of the GSWMI-CSR team, Dr Ololade Akinrinlola, noted that the GSWMI-CSR was funded by donations from members and partners.
Akinrinola said that GSWMI aimed at reaching the whole world, adding that currently it had CSR activities in about twenty states in Nigeria.
“We provide free meals, foodstuffs, provisions, clothes, shoes, mattresses, television, mosquito nets, ceiling fans, payTV subscription, medications and other needed items and share the gospel, and we have seen lives being blessed tremendously,” Akinrinlola said.
“There is so much hunger and need for food in the society. So, we try to bridge the gap as the Lord helps us. Not only that, we also bless orphanages, the homeless, and widows.
“Our hospital ministry was set up to replicate the work of Christ by healing the sick, breaking the yoke of sicknesses in the lives of people and drawing them to Christ.
The director, GSWMI Scholarship Scheme, Mr Tai Folarin, said that in the span of three financial years, it had awarded over a hundred scholarships to people.
He said that the GSWMI Scholarship Scheme was committed to helping students achieve their short and long-term educational dreams through information and scholarships.
“We have partners who are dedicated to helping with the needs of some students that we have adopted. Our members have “adopted” one or more students making provisions for their school fees, books and upkeep”.
