As part of its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, Ganko Energy Services Limited has donated food items, toiletries, and other basic necessities to the City of Refuge Orphanage in Durumi and Destined Children’s Orphanage in Kado, Abuja.
Presenting the donation to the orphanages in Abuja on Monday, the organization Head of Human Resources and Capacity Development, Nathaniel Ojo, said the gesture was part of the NGO’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
Nathaniel said, “We are here today as part of our corporate social responsibility to share this precious moment with the children.”
According to him, “We recognize Children’s Day around the world and we found this orphanage to be a place where we can come and share precious time with these children. We also extend our food items and toiletries to them to ensure they live better lives irrespective of their circumstances.
“We are here to remind you that you are special to humanity. There are people who have gone through this phase of life and have become better persons today.
“Some of them were not raised by their parents. You can be the best God has created you to be. Always give everything.”
Speaking on their challenges, Nathaniel said the organization will definitely be in touch with them and see what they can do.
“This won’t be the end of our corporate social responsibility. We will go back and have internal discussions with top management because we actually want to carry out initiatives that would meet the needs of every individual.
“We will go back, then we will think about what we can do to address the challenges. Of course, we are happy to come and address these challenges.
“Children make up the larger percentage of our population, and the federal government needs to cut down its expenditure to make them a priority.
“The government needs to focus on these children because they may be the ones to drive whatever we are setting up today.
“We need to do everything within our capacity as private individuals, especially from the public sector, to prioritize their needs and ensure these children have smiles on their faces and access to the basic necessities they need.”
In his remarks, the orphanage administrator, Mr. Darlington Francis, said we lack the appropriate words to express our profound gratitude to Ganko Energy Services Limited for all they do.”
He called on the government to fast-track the process of adoption.
Darlington explained that the orphanage is a non-governmental organization and that the government at all levels should endeavor to expedite the adoption of these children because leaving the kids at the orphanage for too long is not the best solution in his opinion.
“There should be a way of giving these children to people who are willing to adopt them so that there will be fewer kids in the orphanage.
