‘MMM-Nigeria’, a community of mutual financial aid and donations, on Saturday donated relief materials worth N5 million to Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to mark its first year anniversary.
According to a guilder in ‘MMM Community’, Mr. Seyi Bello, the donation was motivated by the desire of the group to affect the society positively, especially the less-privileged.
He said, “We are marking our first year anniversary and we have decided to come and celebrate it with our brothers, mothers and children in the camp. As a community, we do not only provide help to our members, we also extend that to the larger society as part of our social responsibility.
“In these times of economic challenges, the IDPs are the ones that need help and support more than any other person; that is why we visited them today. The N5 million was raised from voluntary donations my members in the FCT.
“That is what defines us as a community of people providing financial help to each other on the principle of reciprocity and benevolence. In MMM there are no lenders and no debtors. One participant asks for help, another one helps”.
