A non-governmental organisation based in the United States, Nutrition4Humanity, has partnered with the Blue Ocean Health and Development Relief Initiative (BOHDRI) to fight hunger and malnutrition among vulnerable groups in Nigeria.
Its founder, Prince Olugbenga Aderin, the Baba Oba Giese of Ile-Ife, said the organisation is committed to supporting underprivileged children and communities with nutritious meals and essential supplies.
As part of the partnership, Prince Aderin led a team to the Queen Esther Orphanage Home in Kabusa, Abuja, where they donated food items and shared meals with the children.
The outreach, he said, was aimed at putting smiles on the faces of orphans and their caregivers.
“We can’t wait for the government to do everything. I appreciate our donors who have stood by us to make sure we contribute to the growth of these children, and I call for more donors to join this mission,” he said.
He also commended the Dakachi of Kabusa, Chief Samuel Gbow, for ensuring the success of the programme and thanked Mrs Aisha Aderin, the executive director of BOHDRI, for her role in strengthening the partnership.
At the event, Aderin said the outreach was part of their efforts to give back to society and support the welfare of less privileged children.
“It’s not their fault that they find themselves in these homes. As humans, we feel for them and see them as part of us. That’s why we’re here to show love and care,” she said.
She expressed gratitude to all donors and volunteers who made the exercise possible, urging more partners to support future programs.
In their remarks, Chief Samuel Gbow and Pastor Queen Tssen, founder of Queen Esther Orphanage Home, thanked Nutrition4Humanity and BOHDRI for their generosity and compassion toward the children.
