My Friends and I Development Network is a charity organisation committed to improving the quality of lives of vulnerable and marginalised people in the society. This we plan to achieve through the provision of basic education (formal and vocational) and essential amenities such as food, clothing, toiletries, medical supplies etc.
Our debut outreach was on May 28, 2017, where we organised a Children’s Day Celebration party for over 500 marginalised children at Kuchingoro IDP Camp, Abuja. At the event, we played, danced, gave out gifts and fed all the children that participated in the program.
In December 2017, we started the “Christmas Came Early (CCE) project which is our yearly charity project where we reach out to the vulnerable and needy in the society during the Christmas period. We provide them with food items, toiletries, clothings, shoes etc. It’s just our own way of expressing the love of God to the vulnerable people around us.
In the last seven years, Christmas Came Early programme has impacted over 2000 lives. Our programmes have been targeted towards different categories of people; Orphanages, Old People’s home, Pregnant and Nursing mothers, children, distressed residents etc.
During the COVID 19 lock down, we had a Food Drive to 1 old people’s home and 7 Orphanages in Abuja. We provided food items, and toiletries for them.
