Sir CC Onyeze, a notable philanthropist and visionary leader, has once again demonstrated his unwavering commitment to societal development through the launch of a groundbreaking humanitarian outreach program in Nri, Anaocha Council Area of Anambra State.
The program, which centered around the sponsorship of free holiday lessons at Kings and Queens Christ Academy, stands as a testament to his belief that education is the bedrock of success. Through the CC Onyeze Humanitarian Foundation, this initiative aims to bridge the educational gaps often faced by children from underserved communities, providing them with the tools to excel academically.
At the heart of the outreach program was a remarkable gesture of generosity, as Sir Onyeze provided school bags and exercise books to pupils and students from the nursery, primary, and secondary school categories. These educational materials were gifted to the students at the conclusion of the free holiday lessons, ensuring that they were not only academically prepared but also equipped with the necessary supplies for the new school season.
Indeed, the atmosphere at Kings and Queens Christ Academy was one of celebration and inspiration today September 7th, 2024. The event featured series of captivating performances, including a welcome song, an instructive drama presentation, and traditional dance. These performances reflected the cultural richness of the region and added a vibrant dimension to the proceedings. The event drew a large and diverse audience, attracting individuals from all walks of life, including educators, community leaders, parents, and students, who came together to witness this noble act of service.
In his address which was presented by the Director General CC Onyeze Humanitarian Foundation, Hon Mrs Uju Izuakor, Sir Onyeze reiterated his conviction that education is the key to unlocking a brighter future for every child. He stressed the importance of giving back to the community and empowering the younger generation with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive in an increasingly competitive world. His passion for philanthropy and education has not only transformed the lives of those present but also ignited a spark of hope for countless individuals in the state, particularly the widows and the less privileged.
Sir Onyeze’s vision, however, extends far beyond the walls of Kings and Queens Christ Academy, as he graciously announced his intention to replicate this humanitarian initiative across all 21 local government areas (LGAs) in Anambra State. This ambitious plan underscores his deep-rooted desire to create a lasting impact on the educational landscape of the region. By expanding the program to reach more communities, Sir Onyeze aims to ensure that no child is left behind, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
The CC Onyeze Humanitarian Foundation’s outreach program is more than just a philanthropic gesture; it is a strategic investment in the future of Anambra State. Sir Onyeze’s commitment to empowering young minds through education will undoubtedly yield significant dividends, fostering a new generation of leaders, thinkers, and innovators who will contribute meaningfully to the development of the state and the nation at large. His efforts exemplify the profound role that philanthropy can play in shaping a more equitable and prosperous society.
On behalf of the parents who benefitted from the generous free holiday lessons organized by Sir CC Onyeze, Mrs Lizzy Okoyeagu, Mrs Ruth Mmaduaadichie, Mrs Martina Ifeoma Nriaka, among others expressed profound gratitude to Sir CC Onyeze saying; Your selfless dedication to the education and development of our children has left an indelible mark on their lives.

We pray that God continues to bless and reward you abundantly for your kindness and tireless efforts. May He grant you the strength and wisdom to keep uplifting future generations, and may your legacy of goodwill and service inspire many more to follow in your footsteps. Thank you, Sir, for making such a meaningful impact in our community.
