A Personal Journey to Philanthropy
Growing up in Nigeria, Kole experienced the harsh realities of hunger and poverty firsthand. These struggles ignited a passion within him to make a difference in the lives of others facing similar challenges. By sharing his story, Kole aims to inspire others to take action and support those struggling to meet their basic needs.
Creating ‘Give Us Our Daily Bread’
In February 2022, Kole brought his vision to life with the establishment of the ‘Give Us Our Daily Bread‘ foundation. This platform enables people from all walks of life to contribute their resources, time, and energy to make a real difference for those in need. Despite the challenges of securing resources, Kole is committed to his mission and actively seeks aid from local and international sources.
A Wide Range of Support Programs
Kole’s foundation offers a comprehensive approach to assistance, with programs that include:
- Daily Food Provision: Delivering meals to those who can’t afford them.
- Medical Assistance: Supporting physically challenged individuals and helping with medical bills.
- Educational Support: Ensuring children receive quality education for a brighter future.
- Pregnant Women and Children Care: Providing food, shelter, and daily needs for pregnant women and their children.
- Clothing Donations: Offering clothes and essentials through the “Chain of Blessing” program.
- Financial Aid: Assisting those in need of monetary support.
Ensuring Transparency and Fair Distribution
To maintain transparency and help those who genuinely need it, the foundation asks beneficiaries to submit a short video request. This process fosters human connection and allows Kole’s team to make a tangible difference in the lives of those they serve.
Making an Impact
Since its inception, ‘Give Us Our Daily Bread’ has provided aid to nearly 500 families. Kole shares that every day, the foundation contributes to saving lives and bringing smiles to people’s faces, even with as little as N1,000.
Collaboration is Key
Kole emphasizes the importance of government and stakeholder involvement in eradicating hunger. He believes that if everyone works together, the goal of eliminating hunger can be achieved. The support of the government is crucial, as limited resources can only go so far.
