Jakin at a glance

JAKIN is registered as JAKINMINIS INTERNATIONAL COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE i.e. an NGO allowed to trade. The name “JAKIN” is a Hebrew word for “HE ESTABLISHES”.

It is a faith – based Non – Governmental Organization that seeks to improve our society by creating a neutral and conducive atmosphere for resources to be generated for charity while they are simultaneously channeled to the less privileged.

Our savior Jesus Christ had a help ministry. He operated it while on earth and still operates it after he ascended into heaven. Every one is expected to be an arm of this ministry. He not only encouraged us to help but he mandated us to live a daily life of helping. He never discriminated neither was he biased in his work. He emphasized this call in Mathew 25 v 31-46 where he also stated the consequences of disobedience to it. We strongly believe that alone you can’t change your world but together we can make a positive difference.

JAKIN operates a friendly, unbiased and flexible structure that grants the less privileged access to freely discuss their issues and also receive various forms of supports that tackle their situation from its root cause.

JAKIN which has its head office in Lagos State and a branch in Zamfara State was conceived on October 12th 2003 by MRS ADEBIYI OLUBUKOLA “nee” before Akinlosotu and commenced operations on November 30th 2003.

The Head Office presently has a staff strength of 14 apart from volunteers, and since it’s inception; this dynamic organization has successfully assisted the Nigerian Government in meeting the MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS.

Jakin has gone through a lot of restructuring in recent times and this has brought about a lot of reorganization in its structure which includes elimination and introduction of some project names. The whole essence of this is to re-brand and re- package the organization and finally represent a more focused coordinated organization show casing a mind blowing track record in humanitarian service delivery.
