Giving Garage is set to
hold its second edition of the orphans support programme themed; "The
Green Reception; Lets Encourage Celebrations at Charity Homes”,
scheduled to hold on Sunday January 31, 2016, at the Heart of Gold Children
Hospices, Surulere, Lagos.
To commemorate Giving
Garage Orphanage Outreach in January after successfully hosting the Green
Giving Yuletide at the Lions Village Motherless Babies Home in Lekki inspired
by YALI GOES GREEN, Chaste Inegbedion, Leap Africa Social Innovation Fellow
& Founder Giving Garage is collaborating with Heart of Gold Children
Hospices an organization dedicated to abandoned and orphaned children suffering
from a vast range of severe congenital, physical and mental disabilities
through the power of grassroots action and advocacy by providing information,
support, and campaigning for improved standards of care for abandoned Children
in the 3K4Orphans Campaign.
3K4Orphans arises from
the dire need to assist Orphans. The idea is that if Five Hundred People
donates Three Thousand naira each, 3K4Orphans will successfully raise One
Million, Five Hundred Thousand naira for Orphans. The funds will go towards the
Heart of Gold Hospices (Orphanage) to start an entrepreneurial venture that
would help sustain the home on a monthly basis, create jobs and fulfil the SDGs
Goal 1 to reduce Poverty.
Managing Director,
PRMAfrica and Executive Producer, AFRIMA, Mike Dada, notes that “At a time like
this using Prominent Personalities as a force of good to raise awareness for
this Initiative. The campaign is also a fantastic opportunity to shed light on
the financial challenges orphanage homes face and crowd-funding for
entrepreneurial ventures to sustain homes on a monthly basis with less emphasis
on Grants & Sponsorship.
Together, we stand to
help these orphans with special needs & letting them know we care. All
proceeds of the 3K4Orphans Campaign go to the orphanage home entrepreneurial
venture.”
Campaign Leader Chaste
Inegbedion speaking on the 3K4Orphans campaign says “sometimes, it is important
to remember that we all have a responsibility to the world that we have been
placed in. 3K4Orphans campaign is an opportunity to show that there is power in
every single one of us to change our society; in this situation, improving the
living standards of orphans and encouraging celebrations at this home starting
with January Celebrants. Together, we can raise One Million, Five Hundred
Thousand Naira and more!”
3K4Orphans will run
throughout the month of January till post Valentine Day with a weekly diary in
partnership with Agbowo.com as well via twitter documenting money
raised. This information will also be available both on Agbowo and the Giving
Garage website alongside photographs taken with individual and organizational
donors.
