The Lucky Adimike Foundation is set to host the second edition of empowerment through Faithspiration Initiative Night of Praise, Worship and Mega Empowerment in Awka-Etiti community in Idemili South Local Government Area of Anambra State.
The programme, scheduled for January 2, 2026, will take place at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Awka-Etiti, beginning at 6:00pm and lasting till dawn.
The Foundation, led by renowned businessman and community philanthropist Lucky Adimike, is dedicated to empowering individuals and families through the provision of food items, financial assistance, business support, scholarships, healthcare interventions and church development initiatives.
According to the Founder of Faithspiration Initiative, Rev. Fr. George Adimike, the foundation has consistently distributed foodstuffs to vulnerable families to cushion the effects of the prevailing economic hardship.
He said the foundation also supports small and medium-scale entrepreneurs with seed capital, offers scholarships to students, provides healthcare assistance, empowers churches, and presents monetary awards to Block Rosary centres across parishes in Awka-Etiti.
He said, “During its December 26, 2025 empowerment programme, held at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church Awka-Etiti, the foundation distributed 50 bags of 50kg rice to two religious bodies, while 400 bags of rice and beans were distributed to 200 families.
“The foundation also donated 10 laptops to Fr. Paul Secondary School, Awka-Etiti. In addition, over 40 individuals were empowered with ₦1 million each as seed capital to support their businesses.
“A family has also benefited from the donation of a residential house, among other empowerment interventions. The final phase of the empowerment programme is scheduled for January 2, 2026.
“Lucky Adimike’s motivation for the initiative is to appreciate God for His blessings upon his business, family, and life, while using his God-given resources to positively impact society.
“The initiative, which commenced last year, combines spiritual, social, and economic empowerment. Recently, Adimike sponsored the promotion of Marian devotion across all parishes in Awka-Etiti, strengthened Block Rosary centres, paid school fees for children, and rewarded outstanding rosary groups.
“He has also cleared hospital bills for indigent residents of Awka-Etiti at Our Lady of Fatima Hospital, including women who delivered both normally and via caesarean section.
“The Night of Praise is designed as a blend of evangelisation, entertainment, and empowerment, with praise, worship, prayers, and inspirational messages serving as a platform to draw participants and uplift lives.
“On the January 2, 2026 of the event, final empowerment items will be presented to beneficiaries, extending beyond Awka-Etiti community, with about 45 lucky individuals expected to benefit.
“Priests expected to minister at the programme include Rev. Fr. Joshua Obiekezie, Rev. Fr. Barrister Johnbosco Igwe, and the Parish Priest of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church, Rev. Fr. Paul Ifebighi, alongside other Catholic and Anglican priests in Awka-Etiti.
