From Reality TV to Philanthropy: Faith Morey’s Foundation provides hope for underprivileged students

Faith Morey recently unveiled the "For Charity Okachi" foundation, a charitable endeavor named in honor of her late grandmother, Mrs. Charity Okachi

Faith Morey recently unveiled the “For Charity Okachi” foundation, a charitable endeavor named in honor of her late grandmother, Mrs. Charity Okachi, who devoted over three decades to teaching in public schools. The announcement came through an Instagram video where the reality TV star revealed her long-standing dedication to this initiative.

Starting with Sangana Primary School in Port Harcourt, where her grandmother once taught, Faith’s philanthropic efforts quickly expanded to encompass other schools in the region. Already, her contributions have had a profound impact. She has provided school uniforms and shoes for 156 students, covered examination and Inter-House sports fees for 32 students, enlisted five volunteer teachers, distributed JAMB forms to students at Oromineke Girls Secondary School, refurbished classrooms at Port Harcourt State Primary School, and sponsored the 2024 Inter-House Sports event at the latter institution.

The foundation is not confined to these achievements but is actively involved in ongoing and prospective projects throughout Rivers state. Faith expressed her desire to extend educational opportunities beyond Rivers state through her foundation.

Launching the foundation on Instagram, Faith spoke of her deep emotional connection to its name, which pays tribute to her grandmother, a pivotal figure in her upbringing. Initially focused on providing solar panels to Sangana Primary School, the initiative evolved to address broader needs, such as providing school uniforms—a cause close to Faith’s heart, having experienced childhood bullying due to lack of proper attire.

Faith underscores the predominantly underprivileged backgrounds of the students she aims to assist, highlighting the crucial role her foundation plays in bridging educational disparities.

Through her philanthropic efforts, Faith Morey joins a growing list of celebrities dedicated to meaningful contributions to society, demonstrating a steadfast commitment to giving back.
