Over 2,000 disabled men, women and children have benefitted from the Halima Abubakar Foundation’s Appreciation Outreach, held on Saturday, 27 July, 2024 at PWD Emir Palace, Karonmajigi, FCT Abuja.
During the outreach, the veteran actress and philanthropist gave out wheelchairs, food stuffs, shoes for students, mats, kettles, kids clothes, and shoes and other relief materials to the beneficiaries.
The charity outreach is Abubakar’s little way of giving back to the society, particularly at this difficult economic state of the country, and she promised that it will be a continuous exercise. It was coordinated by Ambassador Chris Odey.
The Emir of Karomajiji, Alhaji Suleiman Muhammad, who was present at the event, expressed his delight at the good gesture of Abubakar, describing her as a woman of substance loved by the people. He thereby urged more celebrities to emulate her.
Other dignitaries who graced the event include Muhammad Datani, Sagir Ibrahim, Naziru Muhammad, Adamu Dando, James Lalu and representatives of the Federal Ministry of Humanitarian Affairs, Disaster Management and Social Development.
Halima Abubakar, who is an Ambassador of Peace, said “I felt really loved by the turnout and the fact that I was able to put smiles on the faces of these people. But this wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Almighty Allah, my fans and people like Kingsley Mike Azonobi of Domak Group, Millicent Ugwueru of House of Mimie, Divinchy Collections, my Instagram fans and some anonymous donors.
Abubakar was born in Kano but from Kogi State. She attended Ideal primary school in Kano, then studied Sociology at Bayero University, Kano. She is also the CEO of Modehouse Films, a production company that produces movies and gives new faces a chance by putting them in a position to earn a living.
The multiple award-winning thespian has starred in many Nollywood films, some of which include Slip of Fate, Missing Child, Secret Shadows, Ladies Gang, Area Mama, Men in Love, Okafor’s Law and Love Castle.
