The Igbo Association of Japan (Igboezue) annual visit to the home for the less privileged, has recorded another tremendous success in 2026.

This year, we visited the Motherless Babies Home at Holy Ghost Cathedral, Enugu State, Nigeria.

The delegation was led by the Igboezue Vice Chairman, Chief Emma Okoh, alongside other members. All purchased items in the photos below were donated to the home, and they warmly received us with great joy.

They prayed for the Igboezue family and wished all members well.

May God bless every member of the Igbo Association of Japan who supported the initiative.

In the coming years we are looking forward to do more for the betterment of humanity.
