UK based Nigerian blogger, activist and host of GIOTV, Maureen Badejo has reacted to the news that His Love Foundation, charity arm of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG has renewed its commitment to impacting Nigerians.
According to the church it has spent about N18.4 billion on various charity programmes across the country in the last three years.
Statistics made available to Church Times by the foundation says RCCG has impacted about 130,753,857 people in about 43,000 operating centres of the foundation in the country.
To increase its social interventions.
The Foundation on Sunday, July 25 launched the crowdfunding campaign.
Maureen listed the names of the pastors in this foundation aa Pastor Segun Opaleyi, Pastor Detola Akinremi, Pastor Idowu Iluyomade, Pastor Trevor Akindele, Pastor Africanus Sam-Epelle, Pastor Adeyemo, Pastor Lanre Oyegbola.
Pastor Idowu Iluyomade who is the RCCG Intercontinental Overseer on Christian Social Responsibility told journalists during the launch that the crowdfunding was inspired by growing demands for social interventions across the country.
He said, “CSR is a matter of life and death for the church” adding that the church has committed itself to give succour in six specific areas of health, education, feeding, social enterprise, rehabilitation and prisons.
He said the crowdfunding campaign was designed to provide opportunities for individuals and corporate bodies to take part in helping the poor. “There are a wide variety of urgent demands where government support will not be available at all or available in time to meet all the rapidly-changing needs on the ground, hence the need for donations from individuals, philanthropists and corporations to fill critical gaps and make a tremendous difference.
We, therefore, need to bring our resources together, so that we can make a tremendous impact.”
With as little as N1000 a month or N12,000 per annum, an individual according to Iluyomade “will be able to do more for more people, impact more communities and transform more lives.”
He said individuals who donate to the charity will have the privilege of getting insurance cover. “The HLF has entered into partnerships with four Insurance companies in Nigeria to give 1year free Accident Insurance Policy to partners who make lump sum donations of N12,000 or more at once.” The insurance partners are: Axa Mansard, Leadway Assurance Company Limited, Veritas Kapital and Cornerstone Insurance.
The policy provides a worldwide cover on a 24-hour basis and pays prompt compensation in the event of injuries, disability or death caused solely by accident, external and visible events such as road accidents, Motorcycle and Tricycle (Keke NAPEP) risks are covered, however, power bikes or bikes used for racing are excluded.
The GIOTV host said this is a good news if they do good things lets appreciate them in other way round let’s say it out so that they can know their mistakes.
