Sanctified Cares Program
Welfare Fund
The Sanctified Cares Welfare Fund is a limited financial assistance initiative established to support registered, active, and tithing members of Sanctified Mount Zion Church, Ikot Eka Edem Assembly, who may be experiencing serious financial hardship or unforeseen challenges.
It is worth noting that:
- The fund does not cover house rent or other discretionary/personal expenses.
- Assistance is granted upon application and subject to careful review.
- All disbursements are given as gifts, not loans—no repayment is required.
- However, if a beneficiary is later blessed financially and feels led to give back, such voluntary donations will be gladly received and used to support other members in need.
This fund is a practical expression of our Christian love, unity, and commitment to caring for one another in times of difficulty.
