Foundation Restates Commitment To Elderly People’s Welfare

A non-governmental organisation (NGO), the OB Lulu-Briggs Foundation, has promised to continue to support elderly people’s welfare across the country,

The assurance came as it celebrated the start of 2025 with its annual New Year party for the elderly on Wednesday.

Speaking at the event, which brought together beneficiaries of the foundation’s flagship Care for Life programme, esteemed guests and dignitaries, the foundation’s chairman, Dr Seinye O.B. Lulu-Briggs underscored the enduring commitment of the Care for Life programme to supporting elderly beneficiaries.

She noted that, “Our intervention in the lives of the elderly and beneficiaries is not a one-off. Until the Lord Almighty decides to call them home, they are our responsibility. They become our mothers and our fathers, and we care for them until that particular day they leave us.”

She expressed deep gratitude to the team of doctors, nurses, caregivers, and volunteers who ensure the well-being of the elderly, as well as members of the Chapel of God International Worship Center and others who offer spiritual and emotional support through prayer at the event. “That you see them smiling, strong and healthy is because God heard your prayers,” she remarked.

The Care for Life programme, the foundation’s inaugural initiative, has been at the heart of its 24 year-long mission, with services ranging from regular medical visits to personal caregiving that assists elderly beneficiaries in their daily lives.

“This programme embodies the Foundation’s philosophy of lifelong care, ensuring dignity, comfort, and a sense of family for our elders,” Dr Lulu-Briggs added.

The event also honoured the memory of the foundation’s late benefactor, High Chief O. B. Lulu-Briggs, whose vision continues to guide its impactful work. Guests enjoyed a variety of activities from creative painting sessions to vibrant musical performances by the choir of the Chapel of God International Church.
