This is a simple story of how Actor and Comedia – who have become a philanthropist – Williams Uchemba, took away the sufferings of a family of Four.
It all started in December 2019, when the Williams Uchemba Foundation took their normal Christmas-helping-the-needy movement to the slum and while dong this, encountered this family.
The girls were spotted studying hard and he could not but strike a conversation.
It went viral the Naija way but nothing was done about it – many things die after every trend.
Mr Uchemba in a photo captioned –
December last year I came to this slum to give them food for the Christmas holiday and whilst I was distributing food I saw this young girls studying in-front of their house ( I mean the house you see in the picture above).
I asked them some questions and I was amazed at how intelligent they are. I asked for their parents but they said they’ve gone out to look for their daily meal.
They are not only living in an unhealthy, dangerous area with area boys all over the place but they live under a telco mask ( which can be very harmful to humans). Why should anyone live in such condition not to talk more of children?
The reason I decided to post this picture is because they are not the only ones living in this condition, there are a lot of them even in your neighborhood and I’m encouraging you to reach out to the ones around you.
But as for these ones, My Friend/Partner in the US, Dr Nancy, and I @williams_uchembafoundation have decided to move them out of this place ASAP.
I have contacted a housing agent to look for a good apartment, so we can furnish it and move them in, and Dr Nancy has agreed to put them on scholarship in any school of their choice till they graduate from the University.
For us to have a nation we desire Human capital and personal transformation has to come before Infrastructural development and national transformations. A nation is never built by one sector alone but a collective effort of not only several sectors but individuals, Captains of industries and Nation builders.

“LOL! Joker! e consine you!!!!” Many will say.
Well on Friday, 22nd May, Totally forgotten, Williams Uchemba took to Instagram again, asking a ‘strange’ question.
He asked, “Remember these little girls I posted few weeks ago that live in the slum and an unbearable Condition? Well yesterday God remembered them. Can you guess why they are all smiling in the second Picture? Watch out for my next post to find out and TRY NOT TO CRY.”
With the help of Dr Nancy, JR BIOTEK Foundation, Golden Heart Foundation and his – the Williams Uchemba Foundation, the family of Mr/Mrs Chukwudi have been moved from a dog house into a proper home.
Few weeks ago I was at a slum to feed the people there and I came across a little girl that was reading on a pavement and it broke my heart to see the kind of condition there and then i saw the urgency to move the family out from there. With the Help of God we didn’t only give them a new house but a whole lot more that I will leave you to find out in the video. I want to thank Dr Nancy, JR BIOTEK Foundation, Golden Heart Foundation , @williams_uchembafoundation team and everyone that in one way or the other supported this project. God bless you immense
The father have also been given N1m to start (his) transport business while the two girls have been granted scholarship till university.
