The National Association of Oruk Anam indigenes of Nigeria, an umbrella body that provides a shield for Oruk Anam indigenes in Lagos and its environs, recently appointed the founder, Fraususs Children Empowerment Foundation (FSCEF), Princess Mercy  Suess its brand ambassador.

Speaking during the 45^th birthday celebration of Princess Mercy Suess held in Lagos, the association’s representative, Comrade Ubong Jacob,  said the appointment was in recognition of her numerous contributions to the development of the  Oruk Anam LGA community, Akwa Ibom State as a whole and the nation in general.

Suess’ passion to help less fortunate children develop into well-groomed and successful adults led to the establishment of FSCEF over 10 years ago.

The foundation, Suess reiterated, aims to build a solid foundation of integrity, selfless service and patriotism in less privileged children, teenagers and youths for a positive generational change that will bring about national development and growth.

FSCEF founder expressed the belief that love is the foundation of the world, noting that “with a love for nations, the people and our immediate environment in our hearts, we would make the right decisions at all times and consider others in all our  actions”.

She explained further that FSCEF focuses on the upkeep, education, and exposure of less privileged children, adding that “we work more with children in orphanage homes and family support centres. 

“FSCEF also has a family relief centre in Mafoluku, Lagos; we are also in Akwa-Ibom State where we run our rural child empowerment programmes. 

“The project involves working with the existing primary schools to activate social activities in the schools, improve on the school’s facilities, and plan and execute programmes that will give the children exposure and great opportunities to take their shot at life”.

Presently, FSCEF has its headquarters in Lagos and plans to move to its permanent site soon. It also has a chapter in Oruk Anam and has also just inaugurated the Uyo chapter last July while working towards having an affiliate foundation in Germany.

While giving gratitude for the achievement so far and for the gift of life at 45, Suess said, “There is still much to be done. We have only scratched the surface.”

She, therefore, called on like-minded Nigerians to join in committing to the service of humanity on the FSCEF platform.
