Caring Hearts Initiative (CHI), a charity arm of the International Church of Christ (ICOC) Nigeria has unveiled its new project, “Heroes of CHI,” aimed at raising funds for its Early Childhood Development (ECD) programme.
The Board Chairman, Elder Imagbe Igbinoba, while reflecting the theme, “Champions for Children Raffle,” stressed the need for collective commitment towards making a difference in the society.
Igbinoba highlighted some key achievements which include provision of support for over 123 vulnerable children in nursery and primary schools, bursaries and scholarships for 32 tertiary institution students, and essential monthly drug and food support for 950 vulnerable children from 360 households.
He urged all stakeholders to join the movement as a force for good.
.meanwhile, Anthony Osakwe, a board member explained the rationale for the fundraising event.
He reiterated the importance of the ECD program, which focuses on the holistic development of children from prenatal to age six/eight, encompassing their physical, cognitive, linguistic, socio-emotional, and spiritual growth.
Mr. Sola Scott, while presenting the modalities of the raffle said the goal was to raise at least N30 million Naira through the sale of 30,000 tickets, structured into booklets containing 20 tickets each.
“The funds raised will support the ECD program’s various initiatives. An innovative aspect of this fundraising effort is the all-digital payment method, allowing contributions from Nigerians and the people in diaspora in any currency, with cash payments not being entertained,” he added.
The raffle draw event which is scheduled for November 13, 2024, promises to be an exciting culmination to the impactful initiative.
Speaking further, the Chairman stated: “The Caring Hearts Initiative (CHI) has always been a beacon of hope and support for vulnerable children and their families. Today, as they launch their “Heroes of CHI” project, the community gathers not just to raise funds through sales of raffle tickets, but to inspire hope and foster connections. Every contribution, no matter how big or small, is a step towards achieving the goals and creating a positive impact in the world.
“With the unwavering support of the community, CHI continues to drive the change it wishes to see, ensuring that every child has the opportunity to grow and thrive in a nurturing environment. As the raffle tickets begin to sell, each purchase becomes more than just a ticket; it becomes a beacon of hope for a brighter future for countless children.
“The International Church of Christ (ICOC) Nigeria, through CHI, remains committed to its mission of making a tangible difference in the lives of the most vulnerable, for one child at a time.”
