Julius Berger Nigeria Plc has reaffirmed its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility, rolling out targeted community outreach initiatives across the country.
In a statement, it was noted that the company recently extended its support to two institutions: the Hearts of Gold Children Hospice, a palliative and respite facility for children with disabilities, and the Shining Light Beach School Foundation, by donating essential food and relief items to assist in their efforts toward providing care and education for the most vulnerable groups in society.
Speaking on behalf of the company’s management and staff, James Agama expressed that Julius Berger’s approach to CSR goes far beyond philanthropy.
He said, “Corporate Social Responsibility at Julius Berger is anchored on long-term impact. It reflects our enduring commitment to building stronger communities, improving the quality of life, and supporting causes that promote inclusivity, education, healthcare, and social welfare across Nigeria.
“Julius Berger’s CSR framework is strategically structured around four pillars: education, healthcare, environmental sustainability, and community development, with each designed to drive meaningful and measurable contributions to national development.”
The management of the respective beneficiary institutions expressed heartfelt appreciation for the visit and donations, even as they commended Julius Berger’s continued compassion and partnership, describing the gesture as timely and impactful.
At Shining Light Beach School Foundation, the founder, Salami Dorcas, emphasised the Home’s reliance on goodwill donations, highlighting the scarcity of recent contributions and commending Julius Berger for its generosity, particularly in providing much-needed items.“I am super excited by the donation made today by Julius Berger because the burden of catering for food supply in this orphanage has been taken care of for a long period. I am exceedingly grateful, and on behalf of the Shining Light Beach School Foundation, we say a very big thank you to Julius Berger. May the Lord continue to bless your company, management, and staff and help you to grow from strength to strength.”
In a related development, the construction giant also donated food items and cash tokens to two orphanage homes in the Federal Capital Territory: Destined Children Orphanage, Kado, and Unique Choices Care Foundation, Kubwa, Abuja, aimed at extending love, care, and support on the occasion of the International Day of Charity.
At Destined Children Orphanage, which currently cares for 45 children between the ages of one month and nineteen years, the administrator, Sarah Chukwuemeka, expressed heartfelt gratitude to Julius Berger for the donation.
She said, “We are deeply grateful. What you have brought will go a long way. These are items we use daily, and we appreciate Julius Berger for reaching out to us and for everyone who represented the company today. God bless you.” She also said that the orphanage was founded in 2017 by her parents and noted that the donations will help improve the well-being of the children. The children, in turn, expressed their appreciation through songs and prayers of thanks.
Similarly, at Unique Choices Care Foundation, the founder, Choice Michael, who established the foundation in 2018 following the passing of her husband, commended Julius Berger’s continued compassion.
She said, “I was overwhelmed with joy when I saw this. I am so happy, and I thank Julius Berger a million times. The Bible says a giver never lacks, and I pray that God continues to bless your organisation, which has given to support these children.”
Speaking on behalf of Julius Berger Nigeria Plc, the Public Relations Officer, Region Central and North, Akeem Lawal, commended the dedication of the orphanage administrators and reaffirmed the company’s ongoing support.He said, “Every year, Julius Berger extends assistance to orphanages and charity organisations as part of its CSR policy. Our goal is to ensure that these children enjoy the festive season like every other child. In addition to today’s donation, the company will also credit each orphanage with a token sum.”
