As part of activities marking this year’s Giving Tuesday celebration, Giving Tuesday Nigeria is set to host a ‘Giving Festival’ in the Bariga Jetty community, Lagos, to promote generosity and community spirit among residents.
The event, scheduled ahead of Giving Tuesday on December 2, aims to highlight the power of giving through storytelling, donations, and community engagement.
According to the organisers, the Giving Festival will serve as a platform to inspire individuals and organisations to support one another, not only through financial contributions, but also by offering time, skills, and shared experiences.
Speaking about the initiative, Folakemi Adeshina, Country Lead of Giving Tuesday Nigeria, said the festival underscores the organisation’s commitment to building a culture of giving across the country.
“We want to show that generosity goes beyond financial contributions. It’s about kindness, empathy, and shared responsibility for one another, especially within underserved communities,” Adeshina said.
Activities lined up for the day include community outreach programs and showcases of impact stories from within Bariga Jetty.
Bariga Jetty, a riverside settlement known for its creativity and resilience despite limited infrastructure, was chosen to emphasise the importance of inclusion and visibility for marginalised communities.
Giving Tuesday Nigeria is part of the global Giving Tuesday movement, launched in 2012 to encourage acts of kindness and generosity worldwide.
The Nigerian chapter continues to promote the spirit of giving through collaborations, campaigns, and community-led initiatives that uplift lives across the country.
