Kuje Custodial Center in Abuja
In 2023, Mercy Drops Foundation carried out an outreach project at the Kuje Custodial Center in Abuja with the approval of the Comptroller of Corrections, F.C.T Command. The aim of this outreach was to extend a helping hand to prison inmates who had been incarcerated for a long time and unable to pay for their release as a result of financial constraint. With the help of the Officer-in-charge of the Kuje Custodial Center, the organization was able to pay the fines in full and secure the release of six (6) prison inmates. The atmosphere at the Correctional Centre was transformed from one of despair to that of gratitude (from the released inmates and members of their families present) and expectation (inmates who looked forward to their turn in the nearest future). The impact of this prison outreach cannot be overemphasized and Mercy Drops Foundation with support and time, looks forward to supporting the release of more inmates.
