A United Kingdom-based Nigerian businessman, Ahmed Karim Oshodi, has launched the GAAFURA Foundation to support less privileged members of society, with a focus on widows, orphans and young people in Lagos.
Oshodi, who recently visited Nigeria, marked the foundation’s debut with the distribution of food items and clothing to widows and orphans in Surulere, Lagos, as part of efforts to alleviate hardship among vulnerable groups.
In addition to the humanitarian outreach, the philanthropist extended support to grassroots sports development by donating sports kits and jerseys to aspiring footballers within his Surulere community, encouraging youth participation in sports and talent development.
Speaking during the outreach, Oshodi reiterated his commitment to giving back to society and creating opportunities for underserved populations, noting that the foundation would continue to implement initiatives aimed at improving lives.
The GAAFURA Foundation operates from Akerele Street in Surulere, Lagos, serving as its Nigerian base for charitable activities.
Oshodi is also the Chief Executive Officer of GAAFURA Global Integrated Limited, a company that provides logistics services, freight solutions, visa support and dispatch services.
He expressed optimism that the foundation would grow into a sustainable platform for social impact, reaching more communities across Nigeria in the near future.
