Renowned human rights activist and former senator, Shehu Sani, has once again showcased his unwavering commitment to humanitarian causes. In a poignant visit that underscores his advocacy for the underprivileged, Sani recently stopped by an orphanage in Abuja, a sanctuary for children abandoned in the harshest circumstances—rubbish bins and public parks.
Taking to his official X (formerly Twitter) handle, Sani shared, “Today, I visited the orphanage that keeps custody of Abuja babies dumped in rubbish bins or public parks. The kids are gifted with bicycles. Sadly, the proprietor of the orphanage, Mrs. Grace Amarachi, died recently. Double tragedy for the kids, but The Lord is their sustainer.”
The visit, while meant to bring joy and hope to the children with the gift of bicycles, was marked by a somber reality—the recent passing of the orphanage’s proprietor, Mrs. Grace Amarachi. Her death has dealt a heavy blow to the home, leaving the children without the guiding figure who had dedicated her life to their care.
Mrs. Amarachi’s selfless efforts transformed the orphanage into a haven for some of the most vulnerable in society. Her passing leaves a void not just for the children, but also for the broader community she served. Sani’s gesture of solidarity and kindness during this difficult period is a reminder of the importance of standing by the vulnerable in times of adversity.
As the children navigate this challenging chapter, Sani’s message of resilience shines through: “The Lord is their sustainer.” His visit serves not only as a beacon of hope but also as a call to action for individuals, organizations, and the government to rally support for orphanages and ensure the well-being of children who, through no fault of their own, have been dealt life’s harshest blows.
This touching moment reflects the need for society to honor the legacy of people like Mrs. Amarachi, ensuring that her work continues to inspire and uplift the lives of those she left behind.
