CHAIRMAN'S MESSAGE

JAP-F performance continues to be positive in line with our vision to be the catalyst that elevates the status of communities and beneficiaries through our various programs and initiatives. ‘JA’AFARU ALIYU PAKI FOUNDATION’ is a testament to the idea of ‘collective efforts for a common goal’. All through these years, our resolute belief in human compassion, generosity and the spirit of giving has never been shaken even once. Our organization was built on the foundation of ‘compassion’. A story I never get tired of telling and retelling. It’s over a decade now; I still feel overwhelmed and humbled whenever, I put an ink on paper to write about the services and projects we executed. How can an inspiration turn into an institution? A recipe of hope. I can only say it’s because of all of you, guided by a divine power. At this juncture, on behalf of JAP-F and the society we serve, I would like to respectfully appreciate our grand patron for his support and advice and to thank the board of trustees, Kaduna state government, philanthropists, and individual contributors. You believed in us, guided us, helped us and supported us throughout this journey. I hope our Foundation gets strengthens with time.

Through our educational initiative, we continue to extend our circle of scholarship and support education through programmes and projects focusing on digital inclusion, scholarships and rejuvenation of schools. Through our Scholarship Program Looking at the beneficiaries, I see life as a reflection of hope. Looking at them, I feel the strong ‘will’ to keep pushing hard and do everything we can to preserve their innocence, to nurture their curiosity, to support their aspirations and give them the education they all deserve. Looking at them reminds me of why we do what we do.

Over the past 10 years, JAP-F has stood by the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The goals were intended to improve the world by addressing issues such as education, environment, health, and poverty through our various projects and initiatives. In 2024, the foundation had the 10th edition of the annual tree planting in Paki and Environs where we had in attendance the Grand Patron His Royal Highness Mallam Ahmed Nuhu Bamalli (CFR), Government functionaries, traditional institutions, private organizations, community leaders and other important dignitaries too many to mention. This is a significant step for us as we continue to actualize our mission in ensuring the sustainability of these projects.

I am enveloped with an overwhelming sense of gratitude, reflecting on the path that JAP-F has traversed over the years. With humility, I cherish where we are, what we have achieved, and the tremendous opportunities that lie ahead. We will continue to work tirelessly in our mission to serve Humanity. Throughout our journey of over a decade, we have been seeking new avenues to contribute to social welfare and also seek support from meaningful Individuals and organizations.

I wholeheartedly thank you once again for your unwavering support and kindness.

Yours in the service of humanity.
