The InnerCity Mission for Children in collaboration with partners in Christ Embassy Abuja Zone, tackled the issue of food insecurity as they provided free meals and home supplies (food items, toiletries, and warm clothing) for 5000 children and families drawn from 5 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) camps, giving them a reason to smile again.

Charles Oputa (a.k.a. Charly Boy), who is touched by the plight of indigent children, was present at the event and was particularly excited to witness this impact, identifying so passionately with the vision of the InnerCity Mission and its drive to #EndChildPovertyNOW.

It was a joyful celebration as the children and families, IDP camp chairmen and other stakeholders received the team. Their excitement was evident for all to see.

The beneficiaries not only had their obvious physical needs ministered to, their spirits and souls were nourished with God’s Word, which was delivered to them in English and Hausa, their predominant language.

The joy and excitement of the beneficiaries knew no bounds as they showered words of praise to God and gratitude to the man of God, Pastor Chris, and partners of the InnerCity Mission, for the immense kindness extended to them.
