FROM THE DESK OF THE FOUNDER & EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

My parents, the late elder Samuel Farquah of Afinaware Community, Patani, and Princess Omobolade Eniola Farquah of Isotun, Osun State, instilled in me a profound sense of service to humanity. My father was deeply compassionate, always showing empathy for others. He never forgot his own humble beginnings. After losing his father, when he was only a child, he struggled to support and educate himself. He never allowed hardship to harden his heart.  He believed that life was not about accumulating wealth for oneself, but about using one's resources to uplift others. His enduring legacy is his generosity.  He never missed an opportunity to lend a helping hand. It is with this spirit of compassion for others, that the Sam Farquah Foundation and Orphanage was born to extend this legacy of Christ-centered love and service.

Across many developing nations, communities, including Patani Local Government Area of Delta State, Nigeria, are grappling with poor socioeconomic infrastructure. Poor school systems, food insecurity, lack of healthcare, and unreliable electricity are not just inconveniences, they are barriers that prevent individuals and families from surviving, let alone thriving. These conditions fuel the many faces of poverty and rob countless lives of opportunities. The Sam Farquah Foundation and Orphanage stands as a beacon of hope in this landscape. We are building a coalition of compassionate changemakers, people who believe in the power of service and the dignity of every human life, to bring about the transformation these communities so desperately need.

As Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said: "Whenever you are engaged in work that serves humanity and is for the building of humanity, it has dignity, and it has worth." Thank you for joining the Sam Farquah Foundation and Orphanage in the fight against poverty.
