Title: Love Outreach Oshodi: Impacting the Lives of Children and Families
On May 14, 2022, Donate Drive carried out the Love Outreach Oshodi program in the Mafoluku axis of the Oshodi area. The outreach aimed to spread the gospel message, and provide support to children and families in the community. With the help of 17 dedicated volunteers, the outreach was a success, reaching out to over 100 children and their families.
One of the primary focuses of the outreach was to share the gospel message with the children. The team taught them about Jesus and how He lives in each of them. As a result, 40 children accepted Jesus as their savior, and two even spoke in tongues. In addition to the gospel message, the children learned important life skills, such as self-esteem, teamwork, and conflict resolution.
The outreach would not have been successful without the support of community partners and leaders. Donate Drive engaged with community leaders, including the community matriarch, Mrs. Lola, and the Lagos Neighborhood Security Corps. These relationships were essential in helping the team reach more children and families and make a greater impact in the community.
Through fundraising efforts, Donate Drive raised N116,522, surpassing their initial goal of N100,000. The funds were used to provide provisions, stationeries, books, bibles and other items to the children and their families.
Overall, Love Outreach Oshodi was a successful and fulfilling program, impacting the lives of children and families in the community. Donate Drive is grateful for the support and contributions of volunteers, donors, and partners, and looks forward to the continued holistic development of the children and families they were able to serve. The organization remains committed to maximizing the impact of their programs and ensuring that funds are used in the most effective and responsible way possible.
