| dc.description.abstract | Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is an increasingly important aspect of business operations, with companies recognising the impact they can have on society beyond their bottom line. In Nigeria, where poverty levels appear high and the number of orphaned children in need of care and support is substantial, faith-based organisations play a significant role in providing for these vulnerable populations. These organisations often run orphanages and other charitable initiatives as part of their CSR efforts, seeking to fulfill their religious obligations to help those in need. Objective: To assess the CSR initiatives of select faith-based organisations in Nigeria that are involved in supporting orphanages. Method: Literature review and case study methods were adopted. Results: The case study analysis reveals various CSR initiatives implemented by FBOs in the country which include provision of basic needs, health care services, and educational support. Conclusion: The conclusion drawn from this study underscore the positive impact of CSR initiatives on orphanages and the communities they serve. The study recommends that FBOs in Nigeria should prioritise sustainable and community-driven CSR initiatives, foster partnerships with other stakeholders, enhance transparency and accountability mechanisms and integrate monitoring and evaluation frameworks. | |
