Ourkraft Ventures Marks 10th Year of Family Funshare, Promotes Love and Family Bonding
Ourkraft Ventures has marked the 10th edition of its annual Family Funshare programme, a charity-driven initiative aimed at strengthening family bonds, promoting love, and providing wholesome recreation for children and parents during the Yuletide season.
The 2025 edition of the programme, tagged “Family Fiesta and Kids Zone,” held on December 25 and 26 at the Nigeria Institute of Journalism (NIJ), Ogba, Lagos, attracted families from within and around the community, despite challenges associated with venue size and location.
Speaking at the event, part of the organisers, Micheal Ojuroye described the Family Funshare as a labour of love that has grown steadily over the years with the support of partners and brands committed to community development.
“Over the years, we thank God that we have been able to attract different brands like FMN, Beloxxi, Radio 90.9FM and Ewenu 93.9FM to support this programme. The idea has always been to bring families together in an environment where parents and children can celebrate, play games, learn, and enjoy quality time together,” he said.
He explained that beyond entertainment, the programme also serves an educational purpose, as volunteers and resource persons engage children on life skills and values that contribute to their overall development.
According to Michael, the change of venue from last year’s location to the NIJ was informed by management changes at the former venue. He noted that turnout was slightly lower this year due to the new location but expressed optimism that awareness would improve in subsequent editions.
“This is a charity-focused programme. We only collect a small token from parents, mainly to control the crowd. Children receive free gifts, free photographs, short videos and other souvenirs, which are shared with their parents. It is our little way of spreading seasonal love,” he added.
The two-day event featured a wide range of attractions, including bouncing castles, train and horse rides, games, music, fun competitions involving both adults and children, food and drinks, raffle draws, and free gifts for children.
While acknowledging space constraints that limited attendance this year, Micheal expressed hope for a bigger and better outing in 2026, stressing the need for a more spacious venue to accommodate more families and friends.
“I won’t say we promise too much, but we hope to secure a better space next year so we can do more than this,” he said.
He also used the opportunity to call on families to embrace love, noting that the season reflects the core values of unity and compassion. “This is a season of love, and Jesus is the reason for love. I encourage parents and children everywhere to live in love,” Micheal stated.
