“Providing succour to disabled persons, kids is my priority” – Halima Abubakar reveals

• Actress Halima Abubakar Foundation (HAF) supports over 2,000 disabled persons and kids in Abuja, Nigeria, by donating food, wheelchairs, crutches, and other relief items.

• HAF has been providing assistance to numerous needy individuals for years, and her priority is to increase their efforts and continue their corporate social responsibility efforts across Nigeria and Africa.

Halima Abubakar, the foremost thespian and United Nations Ambassador, has stated that supporting crippled people and children in Nigeria and Africa is her top priority.

The actress recently donated food items, wheelchairs, crutches, and other relief goods to nearly 2,000 disabled people and children in Abuja, Nigeria’s capital, through her Halima Abubakar Foundation (HAF).

She stated that HAF has been assisting hundreds of people in need for many years, and that it is her priority to continue doing so, vowing that corporate social responsibility gestures will continue throughout Nigeria and Africa.

Abubakar stated that her charity would work with authorized agencies and authorities to help eradicate the plague of discrimination against individuals with disabilities and empower them to pursue their ambitions.

“The stories of many of these people living with disabilities are quite touching. While some of them were born with disabilities, others are mere victims of circumstances that could have been avoided. I’m glad that most of them are not giving up on their dreams, and it is our responsibility to assist in making it a reality. Indeed, there’s an ability in disability.

“The Halima Abubakar Foundation outreach is prepared to extend its tentacles to every region in Nigeria, and some parts of the continent where we have more vulnerable people living with disabilities,” she stated.

The Halima Abubakar Foundation Appreciation Outreach began on Saturday, July 27, 2024, at PWD Emir Palace, Karonmajigi, FCT Abuja, with more than 2,000 people in attendance.During the outreach, the veteran actress and philanthropist distributed wheelchairs, crutches, food, shoes for students, mats, kettles, children’s clothing, and other relief supplies to the beneficiaries.

The charitable outreach is Abubakar’s small way of giving back to society, especially given the country’s tough economic situation, and she has promised that it will be an ongoing effort. It was organized by Ambassador Chris Odey.

The Emir of Karomajiji, Alhaji Suleiman Muhammad, who was present at the event, expressed his satisfaction at Abubakar’s kind gesture, characterizing her as a woman of substance who is well-liked by the people. He asked other celebrities to follow her example.

Other dignitaries who attended included Muhammad Datani, Sagir Ibrahim, Naziru Muhammad, Adamu Dando, James Lalu, and representatives from the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management, and Social Development.

Halima Abubakar, an Ambassador of Peace, stated, “I felt very loved by the attendance and the fact that I was able to bring smiles to these people’s cheeks. But this would not have been possible without the help of Almighty Allah, my fans, and individuals such as Kingsley Mike Azonobi of Domak Group, Millicent Ugwueru of House of Mimie, Divinchy Collections, my Instagram followers, and some anonymous benefactors.”

Abubakar was born in Kano but hails from Kogi State. She attended Ideal Primary School in Kano and later studied Sociology at Bayero University in Kano. She is also the CEO of Modehouse Films, a production firm that makes films and provides young actors a chance by putting them in positions to earn a living.
