Every year, LOTU engages in a massive campaign to create awareness about the state of selected orphanages to raise funds and relief materials for orphans. We collect items like shoes, bags, clothes, books and other items that may be useful for orphans. One of the beneficiaries of this scheme is Abuja children’s home.
Young Ambassadorship Program
LOTU seeks to launch various courses that appeal to Nigerian youth specifically the subject that deals with fiqh of marriage and Family…..2 bricks that if they are good, then the future of the Ummah good. The courses will focus on issues like Leadership, How to choose the right spouse, dealing with culture, Communication with potential spouses based on Islamic Fatwa as well as how to conduct halal marriage. Other courses will focus on how to prevent and deal with divorce and how to raise righteous children. These will in shaa Allah help with inculcating leadership values in the younger generation.
