The Charilove Foundation has appealed to Edo State Government, philanthropists, and well-meaning individuals to ensure the sustainability of the charitable programmes and initiatives established by late Brother Omusi
Recall late Brother Omusi, widely celebrated for his unwavering dedication to humanitarian service, was laid to rest on 29th November 2024 at the Charilove Centre on Sapele Road, Benin City.
In a statement signed by Prof Chris Ugolo and Bro. Chika Nwokoye on behalf of the Board, paid glowing tribute to Brother Omusi’s legacy, describing him as “an icon of selfless service” who provided food, shelter, and hope to the homeless, abandoned children, and physically challenged individuals across Edo State.
His passing, they noted, marks the end of an era that transformed countless lives through his visionary leadership.
The Board revealed that the decision to inter him at the Centre was made in consultation with his immediate family, honouring his lifelong commitment to the charitable mission he spearheaded for over three decades.
“This is the time to support the hundreds of helpless children and beneficiaries at the Charilove Centre,” the statement read.
Charilove Foundation, an integrated rehabilitation centre dedicated to uplifting the less privileged, remains open to visits and tours of its facilities as it continues its mission to serve humanity despite the loss of its leader.
With Brother Chris Omusi’s passing, the Charilove Foundation faces the challenge of carrying forward his vision and ensuring that his legacy of compassion and support for society’s most vulnerable lives on.
