The Gwaram Local Government Council in Jigawa State has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the welfare of orphans in the area.
In a heartwarming gesture, the council has purchased 100 bundles of fabric for distribution to 600 male orphans for the forthcoming Sallah celebration.
According to the chairman of the council, Prof Abdurrahman Lawan, this initiative aims to enable the beneficiaries to have a joyous celebration. Lawan, who is also the Jigawa state Chairman of the Association of Chairmen of Local Government of Nigeria, announced this on Sunday shortly after a meeting with traditional rulers in the area.
Professor Abdulrahman Lawan explained that 100 orphans were selected from each district in the area to receive the fabric. The council has allocated N600,000 to cover the costs of sewing the clothes. This thoughtful gesture demonstrates the council’s dedication to supporting the most vulnerable members of their community.
In addition to providing clothes for the male orphans, Lawan said that the council has also distributed garments to orphan girls across the area. Furthermore, the council has provided 36 bags of pasta, four sacks of millet, and four sacks of maize to the 76 village heads in the domain. This move aims to alleviate food insecurity and promote economic empowerment within the community.
The District Head of Fagam (Katikan Dutse), Auwal Adamu, praised the leadership of the council for its commitment to caring for orphans. This initiative has brought joy and hope to the beneficiaries, demonstrating the power of community support and kindness.
The Gwaram Local Government Council’s initiative highlights the importance of community support in addressing social welfare issues. By providing essential items such as clothing and food, the council is helping to alleviate the burden on vulnerable members of the community.
This heartwarming gesture serves as a call to action for other local governments and organizations to increase their support for orphans and vulnerable children. By working together, we can create a more compassionate and supportive society for all
