The Al-Hakeem Islamic Foundation of Nigeria (AIFN) has launched a fundraising drive to raise N500,000 for its Orphanage Visit Initiative, OVI, scheduled for October 1, 2026
In a statement to stakeholders and the Muslim Ummah, the Foundation said the outreach is designed to bring joy, care and direct support to orphaned children across the country.
With about one month to go, AIFN is appealing for early donations to ensure proper planning and timely delivery of relief materials to orphanages.
To meet the target, the Foundation set a daily mobilisation goal of approximately N16,700, urging members, partners and well-wishers to contribute according to their means.
”Every contribution matters. Whether N1,000, N5,000, N10,000, N20,000 or more, your donation can help us move closer to our goal,” the statement said.
AIFN stressed that the initiative goes beyond financial aid. It described it as an act of compassion, sadaqah and service to vulnerable children.
Quoting a prophetic tradition, the Foundation said “The best of people are those who are most beneficial to people,” and urged donors to see the outreach as a way to earn Allah’s reward.
The group called on supporters to renew their commitment now instead of waiting until the final days before the event.
It prayed that Allah accepts every sincere contribution, blesses donors abundantly, and replaces whatever they spend with something better.
Donations are to be made to FCMB, Account Name: Al-Hakeem Islamic Foundation & Da’wah, Account Number: 2003083777.
AIFN reaffirmed its mission as “Serving humanity. Supporting orphans. Seeking the pleasure of Allah.”
The October 1 outreach is part of the Foundation’s ongoing humanitarian work to support orphans and other vulnerable groups in Nigeria.
