Orphanage produces graduates, calls for assistance

By

THE management of Christ Foundation Orphanage in Kuje, Abuja, says it has produced two graduates and have five undergraduates at different course levels in universities.The proprietor of the faith-based home, Gabriel Okuta made this known on Monday when some group paid the home a courtesy visit, donating some gift items to commemorate Easter.He said one of the orphans graduated as a psychologist from Ekpoma University, Edo and she had been posted for her National Youth Service programme.He said the other graduate studied Education Management at the University of Abuja. He also told the visiting team that there were 47 children presently in the home.He beckoned on able Nigerians to show the home some love as they are in need of the home beddings, food stuffs and other items that could make life easy for them.“Finance has been our major constraint, we need a school bus and we hope to finish the six blocks of classroom, running the home of about 47 children is a challenge,’’ he said.Okuta also noted that the children at the orphanage were faced with health challenges, which punctuated the home’s need for financial help for proper treatment.He said the orphanage often got their children through partnership with police, adding that some abandoned children seen by the police were often brought to the orphanage for proper care.Joseph Gabriel, an orphan who referred to Okuta as his parent, said that he would like to be a soldier when he grew up.“I am now in primary two, Mr and Mrs Gabriel Okuta are my parents and I want to be a soldier so that I can help people,’’ he said.Also Peculiar Gabriel, an orphan, said she would want to be a teacher in future to make people learn how to read.The foundation is a registered non-governmental organisation established in 2004 to ensure that every child under its care acquires basic education and outstanding socio-cultural background.
