The GORBO Foundation, through its efforts, has demonstrated Deputy Governor Gubana’s strong commitment to supporting orphans and humanitarian work. Gubana established the GORBO Orphanage Foundation, which has made significant strides in providing educational support to orphans in the region. In March 2021, Gubana supported the Foundation with school fees and learning materials, benefiting many orphans in Fune Local Government Area.
The Foundation has carried out multiple distributions of learning materials and the payment of school fees. In December 2022, during the seventh distribution phase, 1,165 orphans received school uniforms and educational materials to aid their schooling. Beyond educational support, Gubana has encouraged the community to adopt and care for orphans, stressing the collective responsibility for their well-being.
Additionally, during the Eid-el-Fitr celebrations in May 2020, Gubana distributed food and other palliatives to orphans and vulnerable individuals in Fune, ensuring they could participate in the festivities. These initiatives underscore Deputy Governor Gubana’s dedication to enhancing the lives of orphans in Yobe State through education, community involvement, and direct assistance.
