A philanthropic organisation, JDM Global Foundation, has donated a water borehole to the people of Nkwoagu community, in Ebonyi State.
The facility, sited at Christ Anglican Church, Nkwoagu, was commissioned on August 10 by the Diocesan bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Abakaliki, the Rt. Rev. Monday Nkwoagu.
In her address on the occasion, the founder and chairperson of JDM Global Foundation, Lolo Jennifer Madubuko said she was motivated by the need to give meaning to the lives of the less privileged and needy in the Nigerian society.
Mrs. Madubuko who is based in the United States of America, was represented by Venerable Okey Ifionu, an Anglican cleric.
“JDM Global Foundation is more than just a nonprofit organization — we are a beacon of hope, dedicated to spreading the gospel of compassion, empowerment, and justice,” she said, adding: “Our mission is deeply rooted in the belief that every individual deserves the opportunity to lead a life of dignity and purpose, regardless of their circumstances.”

Mrs. Madubuko further said that “through strategic initiatives focused on healthcare, education, feeding the hungry, and standing up for abused underage children, we are committed to improving the quality of life for the underprivileged and underserved communities worldwide.”
The organisation has done philanthropic works in other parts of the Southeast and promises to expand its operations to every part of the country as the need arises.
Bishop Nkwoagu who was accompanied by some of his clergymen and members of the community, thanked JDM Foundation for its initiative and commended its example to other privileged Nigerians. He said that by providing water to the people of Nkwoagu community, JDM Global has solved a major existential problem of the residents. The Anglican prelate said that JDM’s action was a tangible way of winning souls for the Lord Jesus Christ.
“Water is life, and by providing water to the people, you have shown them love which is the essence of the Gospel,” the bishop told Mrs. Madubuko. He prayed that God would prosper the organisation, and make it touch even more lives.
The vicar of Christ Anglican Church, Nkwoagu, Rev. Chukwunonso Okonkwo, and some of his parishioners expressed their joy and gratitude to JDM Foundation, describing the project as one that will improve the living standard of the parish and the community in general.
JDM Global Foundation has been providing palliatives to needy communities in different parts of Nigeria. “We are inspired by God to provide succour and relief to as many less privileged people as we can,” said Mrs. Madubuko.
