OUR IMPACT
Carondara has hosted 16 different outreaches in various locations around the city of Abuja, asides other projects, catering to the less privileged, providing them with raw foodstuff and relief, plus, educational materials. Our efforts have majorly been on the New Kuchingoro and Area 1 IDP camps and we have reached out to over 10,000 children, so far.
Our Christmas Funfairs are the highlight of our year as a foundation and we ensure they also get to enjoy “the most wonderful time of the year”. Check them out here!
In 2022, we began to expand our efforts to accommodate education, refusing to limit our impact to feeding alone. We believe it is more sustainable to teach one how to fish than to keep giving them fish.
We carried out a Skills Acquisition training through the month of October where the children (ages 10-18) were taught profitable skills like shoe making, bag making, wig making, soap making and beading, by professionals in the various fields.
The next year, 2023, we began our “Back to School” project as we identified a need in that area. By December 2023, we had been able to pay the fees of 122 pupils at various schools in Abuja, asides other projects and partnerships we embarked on.
We are pleased to say that in addition to that, as at March 2024, we had paid for 30 Junior Secondary School students at JSS, Galadimawa. Our goal for 2024 is to sponsor, at least, 400 students across 4 different schools in Abuja and we believe we have started that journey.
This is just a summary of the wonderful work we have been enabled to do. You can follow us on social media to always be up to speed with our activities.
