“The children have done nothing wrong to find themselves in the situation they are today, and I plead with people who have more than enough to help them.

The representative, added that the NGO has come to support the governments effort in achieving its developmental goals and to help eradicate poverty in Nigeria.

Meanwhile, Enemaku, informed the orphanage that their demands were noted down and the organisation would do its possible best to ensure that their needs were meet.
“We are not going to stop donating; the only time we will stop is when they tell us that there is no more need”. she said.

Princes Kaima Mozie, the founder of Zion Gate Orphanage, thanked the organisation for its kind gesture and promised to use the items donated accordingly.
