From Nigeria-
According to the
Head of women, Anglican church of Transformation Abijo, Barrister
Nengi-Kiri Wakama aka Mama yard, noted that "we are having an increase
in term of attendance, and since we started this is the outreach with
the largest turn out.
"The whole church
is involved, both parents, teenagers and youth department. In spite of
the Bible says that we should preach the gospel but ww don't preach the
gospel just by words, we have to also show what we represent, we meet
the spiritual needs and physical needs of the people and that is what we
are here to do on Earth, we represent the body of Christ".
Venerable Kiki
Wakama, added that the legal clinic was created three years ago, because
we found out there are lots of oppression in our system. After the
first two years of the program we realized that some individuals need
not just a counseling and physical needs, we realized that people were
going through some emotional need that could be taking care of
physically like the legal unit to take care of landlord and tenant
issues and some family issues. So their legal issues are taken care of
appropriately."
