Q: About your NGO, The Jeffrey Kuraun Foundation, tell us what it is all about?

A: My motivation in setting up a charity organization came from what Mother Theresa said, that if you cannot feed a hundred then feed one. When I read that I asked a lot of questions. I asked myself how can you contribute to society, how can you make the life of one person better, do you have to be necessarily rich before you could help somebody? No. And what is this help, is help all about money, the answer to me is no.

Sometimes just being nice to somebody or putting a smile on someone’s face asking how are you doing, just showing concern, For me, a smile change somebody’s life because the person will feel somebody understands me, somebody recognises me.

There are lots of people going through very tough times and all they need is someone to say hello to them, for a neighbour to say how are you doing, to genuinely stop and ask how are you doing today. This is a very difficult thing a lot of people find doing.

I asked myself these questions and I said to myself, if I have any job or if I gain any employment, if I am doing any business I must put a percentage of what I earn aside for someone else to benefit from it. And within me, I said if I can’t do that then I am not qualified to work or I am not qualified to do that business.

So it is a personal covenant that I have with my God that I must put something aside from what I earn every day of my life, I would do that until my last breath.

So am very proud of the Jeffrey Kuruan Foundation, we can’t do so much or we can’t do everything but we have just narrowed it down to health, education and economic empowerment.

In the health sector, we organize seminars just to sensitize people to understand the importance of having a healthy life, even sometimes we sponsor speakers who would talk about very important subjects, things that we know about HIV, hepatitis, educate people on them. We donate drugs that we have solicited from pharmaceutical companies, we organize outreaches. We have done some reasonable jobs in Lagos and by the grace of God now that I am working up north here, we want to bring it particularly to Abuja and my own state Benue.

It is a personal conviction, you need to be convinced that you want to do that, it is voluntary, you are not forced to be charitable. More so some people are discouraged, some people have tried to do things like this in the past but they get discouraged, they are not motivated particularly because people lie, people who are not in difficult situations come and lie to you that this is our situation.

When you find out that the little you gave out which was meant to serve a particular purpose did not even get to them you will feel a bit discouraged though. But my advice is that if you genuinely want to help, you shouldn’t bother if someone is not appreciative or if you are called names. Some people might say you don’t even know what to do with what you have.

I am a civil servant, I don’t earn much but I have that covenant and I am not doing so much but at least I have some testimonies, people coming to me to say this is

what you did for me or I have heard from others those we have helped or assisted one way or the other, what they have said about us and it is very motivating, it is very encouraging.

So I would say it is a matter of personal conviction. If you genuinely know that you can be of help to somebody to a neighbour, to a brother or to a sister, don’t b discouraged just keep doing what you are doing because you don’t need to change everybody’s life, you only need to change one or two or three, so that is my position.
