The daunting task of surmounting
homelessness in Nigeria can be achieved as
early as the next decade Mr. Ben Uche
Odunzeh, Chairman of EUC Homes Limited
has posited.
Odunzeh’s EUC Homes Limited, a real estate
company located in Lagos and recipient of
the City people magazine award of ‘Most
Promising Real Estate Company of the Year
Award – 2017’ are already thinking outside
the box to help in finding a lasting solution
to one of the biggest problems plaguing
Nigeria.
To kick-start this vision, the EUC Homes Ltd
boss revealed that he has started the EUC
Homes Foundation; a foundation that will
come up with guides, publicize successful
strategies that will inspire a sustained and
strategic philanthropic response to
Homelessness, Hunger, and illiteracy.
Since the 1980s when homelessness first
burst into this nation’s consciousness, a lot
have been learned about what works and
what does not.
In this light, Mr.Odunzeh stated that
practical expert solutions will be provided
among other things to help in achieving
the bigger aim of ending the three-faced
monster of Homelessness, Hunger, and
illiteracy.
He said:
“It will execute recommendations
from foundation staff and experts on
what philanthropy can do to help end
homelessness, and provide concrete
examples of involvement by
foundations of all sizes in this issue.
“It would also highlight renewed
energy and plans that are fueling a
growing consensus that
homelessness can be ended in the
next decade.
Mr. Odunzeh noted that many foundations
have launched important initiatives tailored
to specific homeless populations and their
urgent needs.
He commended other philanthropic
colleagues who are engaged in this work
and encourage others to consider
homelessness as a part of their grant-
making.
“Local and national efforts to end
homelessness offer opportunities for
any foundation involved in human
services to make a difference.
“We now know how to prevent and
end homelessness and have an
unprecedented opportunity for
decisive action—we hope you will
join us.” He concluded.
While philanthropic involvement in
redressing homelessness has remained flat
in times past, many are keen to see the real
solutions that would be deplored by the
EUC Foundation.
