The Charity Ayo Foundation, in collaboration with the Sylvester Charity Foundation and three other organisations, has donated food items and conducted medical tests for underprivileged members of the Ojota Community in Lagos.
Other participating NGOs in the outreach, tagged Operation Feed Lagos, include Let’s Plan Africa, the Sexual Purity Academy, and Adbec.
During the donation ceremony, Miss Charity Ayooluwa Olaifa, the founder of the Charity Ayo Foundation, stated that the initiative aimed to give back to society and bring smiles to the faces of community members.
Miss Olaifa expressed concern that the wealthy often overlook needy communities, focusing instead on their interests while emphasising her commitment to giving and sharing.
She said, “We are fortunate to partner with four other esteemed foundations to make this season memorable for our community.
“Our joint effort highlights the power of collaboration and our shared commitment to giving back. We are proud to provide comprehensive medical services, including medical sensitisation, free medical tests, and consultations to our community,” she stated.
Also speaking at the event, a representative from the Sylvester Charity Foundation said that the outreach exemplified the power of collective action.
She listed some of the items being distributed, including bags of rice and garri, clothing for adults and children, 100 notebooks to support the education of young students, and free soap.
One of the beneficiaries, who identified herself as Atinuke, expressed her gratitude to the organisations, describing the initiative as a reflection of compassion and praising their ongoing efforts to improve lives.
She said, “Despite the challenging economic times, the foundation has shown remarkable compassion and generosity. They provided free medical checkups and distributed medications to those in need.
“In addition, they gave us an abundance of food items and clothing. I am deeply grateful for the kindness and selflessness of the Charity Ayo Foundation. I pray they continue to thrive and bless more lives,” she stated.
