The story of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ Charity Foundation (SAHOJEC) began long before its formal establishment. Its roots can be traced to the childhood of Godwin and Cecilia, when their commitment to faith and service first began to take shape. As children, they became actively involved in the Junior Presidium of the Legion of Mary at their parish church, then St. Anthony’s Catholic Church, Enugwu-Ukwu. Through this early experience, they developed a deep concern for the poor, the vulnerable, and those living on the margins of society. It also shaped a conviction that would remain with them throughout their lives: faith finds meaningful expression in how we respond to the needs of others. As they grew older, this commitment continued through personal acts of assistance and encounters with people facing different forms of hardship—from children at risk of losing access to education and families struggling to meet basic necessities, to people in need of healthcare, widows, elderly persons, and communities with limited resources. Over time, it became clear that a more organised and sustainable approach was needed—one that could bring people and resources together, extend the reach of these efforts, and create lasting impact. In 2022, that vision took formal shape with the establishment of the Sacred Heart of Jesus Christ Charity Foundation (SAHOJEC). The Foundation was created to bring greater structure, continuity, and accountability to a commitment to service that had developed over many years. As the vision took shape, others who shared the same commitment to compassionate service and human dignity joined the mission, bringing their experience, professional expertise, and dedication to its development. Among them were Dr. Chinenye MaryQueen Uju, Consultant Paediatrician; Assoc. Prof. Isidore Uju; Rev. Fr. Anthony Ibekwe; and Rev. Fr. JohnPaul Chukwuelobe. Together, they helped strengthen SAHOJEC as a collective endeavour dedicated to translating compassion into practical and sustainable support for individuals and communities in need. Today, the Foundation works across education, healthcare, food and essential assistance, empowerment, housing, and community development, responding to immediate needs while also creating opportunities for longer-term improvement and greater self-reliance. While SAHOJEC’s identity is rooted in the Christian faith, its humanitarian mission is open to all. We serve people according to genuine need, without distinction of religion, culture, ethnicity, social background, or personal circumstances. We believe in the inherent dignity of every human person and seek to ensure that those we serve are treated with compassion, fairness, and respect. What began as an early experience of faith and service has grown into a wider humanitarian mission: to transform compassion into practical action, create opportunities for people facing disadvantage, and contribute to stronger and more hopeful communities. Our story continues through every life touched, every opportunity created, and every community strengthened through the work we undertake together.
Their journey in charitable work began early through the junior presidium of the Legion of Mary, where they developed a deep-rooted sense of compassion and commitment to uplifting the poor and marginalized. Over time, this calling matured into a vision: to create a structured, transparent, and impactful platform dedicated to humanitarian service.
