Bridging the Gap of Care: Jane Josh Foundation Visits Little Sisters of the Poor
On April 9th, 2026, the Jane Josh Foundation marked a significant milestone in its mission of compassion by launching a specialized donation campaign for the Little Sisters of the Poor Home for the Elderly in Enugu, Nigeria.
This initiative was born out of a deep-seated commitment to restore dignity and provide health-focused support to one of society’s most vulnerable groups—the elderly. The campaign highlighted the foundation’s dedication to ensuring that the senior citizens at the home receive not just financial aid, but the specialized care and attention they deserve.
A Gesture of Impact
During the visit, the foundation presented a donation of 1,000,000 Naira (One Million Naira) to the Little Sisters of the Poor. This contribution is aimed at addressing critical needs within the home, including:
-
Nutritional Support: Ensuring the inmates have access to essential vitamins and minerals tailored to their dietary needs.
-
Healthcare Resources: Supporting the home’s ability to provide medical care and daily assistance to the elderly poor and infirm.
-
Facility Improvements: Assisting with the operational costs of maintaining a comfortable and welcoming environment.
Why the Little Sisters of the Poor?
The Little Sisters of the Poor have been a pillar of the Enugu community since 1975, operating under a mission to welcome the neediest elderly as they would welcome Christ. With over 50 residents, many of whom face age-related health challenges, the home relies on the “flow of apostolic collaboration” and the generosity of organizations like the Jane Josh Foundation to continue their work.
The Vision Behind the Campaign
The Jane Josh Foundation believes that “Old age is a time to rediscover trust.” By partnering with established caregivers like the Little Sisters, the foundation aims to build a more inclusive society where no elder is left to face isolation or neglect. This donation is more than just a financial transaction; it is a message of hope and a call to action for others in the community to remember those who have spent their lives building the world we live in today.
“Real change is not brought by big promises, but by small actions taken with honesty and heart.”
