The Committee of Friends for Humanity (COFFHA) has announced a N300 million skill acquisition campaign as part of its continued service to humanity.
In a statement, titled, ‘Build the future today,’ COFFHA also said the investiture of its new president, Mrs Augustine Igbokwe, would be held on June 14.
“This investiture marks a historic milestone for the organisation and COFFHA looks forward to the fresh vision, energy and dedication she brings to this esteemed role.
“Mrs Igbokwe’s appointment reflects COFFHA’s unwavering commitment to purposeful and compassionate leadership. Her wealth of experience and deep passion for humanitarian service position her exceptionally well to guide the organisation into its next phase of growth and impact,’ the statement said.
On the N300 million skill acquisition campaign, the statement said alongside the leadership transition, COFFHA is officially launching a fundraising campaign to complete the construction and full equipment of its skills acquisition centre, a facility built to provide practical vocational training and economic empowerment to youth, women and underserved members of the community.”
Mrs Igbokwe said COFFHA was calling on individuals, corporations, philanthropists, faith-based organisations and all well-meaning members of the society to partner to raise N300 million for the project.
According to her, “once fully operational, the Centre will equip beneficiaries with marketable skills, foster self-reliance and create pathways out of poverty for countless families. Every contribution, no matter the amount, is a direct investment in the lives of people who need it most. When communities come together, transformation follows,” she added.
On how to donate, she encouraged individuals and organisations to obtain bank details, or stay informed about the investiture ceremony and fundraising campaign, or visit their official website.
The COFFHA is a non-profit humanitarian organisation committed to improving lives through community development, education and empowerment initiatives. Through various programmes and projects, it has continued to make a meaningful and lasting difference in the lives of individuals and communities across the nation.
