NGO Donates Foodstuffs To Less Privilege People In Kogi

An NGO, Dual Care and HIV Prevention Initiative (DCI) in Kogi, has donated six bags of rice and food ingredients to at least 40 less privileged people in the State.The Director of the NGO, Mrs Roseline Alabi, told journalists at the programme in Lokoja, that the gesture was to reach out to the physically challenged, the elderly, widows, orphans, and children with palsy.“We are reaching out to them on nutrition because it is evident that there are hunger in the land; so we are giving them rice and food ingredients to support them for a while after which other things will follow.“It is Mrs WuraOla Gold, a former ‘Mrs Kogi’, that has supported us with N150, 000, who has been helping our NGO before she got married and relocated to USA. She still continue to support us.“We lost a six years old girl recently due to hunger because she was abandoned by her parents.“So, when the news got to her about the incidence and the challenges, the former Mrs Confluence donated the N150, 000 to the NGO to support the affected vulnerable people.“At least, minimum of 40 less privileged people will benefit from the foodstuffs, and we will also give them transport fare.“I want to also appreciate the Managing Director of Treasures Bakery, Dr Femi Akande and his family for always being their for us in paying the school fees of about 200 vulnerable children,” Alabi said.She thanked the donour, and also commended the Special Adviser to the State’s Governor on Health Matters, Dr Ahmed Attah, for being very supportive in paying the hospital bills of the vulnerable children under the NGO.Alabi, however, solicited support for a 10 year old girl in her NGO who is HIV Positive, who lost her both of her parents to the deadly disease, saying need proper nourishment.In his remarks, Dr Ahmed Attah, commended the NGO for the initiative, saying, “we are not unaware of the challenges but will not give up on what we can do as government and individual.“In addition to the Healthcare Outreach put in place by the Gov. Yahaya Bello, we will continue to give the people and the organisation our best support.”One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Iyabo Osai, a widow, praised the NGO for always being their for them, saying God has used the organisation to secure an accommodation for her and children.

NGO Pays School Fees For 200 Orphaned Children In Kogi

An NGO, the Dual Care and HIV Prevention Initiative (DCI), in Kogi, has paid the school fees of over 200 orphaned children in collaboration with Treasure Bakery across the state.The Executive Director of the NGO, Mrs Roseline Alabi, made the donations at the DCI office on Thursday in Lokoja.According to her, the organisation has over 200 orphans and vulnerable children on scholarships including about 78 children who are living HIV across the three senatorial districts of the state.“This is another added value that our organisation is doing across the state in partnership with Dr Femi Akande, the Managing Director of Treasure Bakery in Lokoja, and other partners.“We have our coordinators across the three senatorial districts of the state, so we cannot bring all the children to Lokoja, but we have sent the money to their Care Givers who are honest and credible for payments.“I am happy today that all the Care Givers are here, but we do not displayed the pictures of our children who are positive to HIV because of stigmatization.“So, what we are doing today is to pay for the Second Term of the remaining 14 children in Lokoja, who are the last batch of the orphaned students in both public and private primary and secondary schools.“We are paying N78, 100 today as school fees for the remaining 14 students. We have paid over N300, 000 for the rest of them across the state few weeks ago, courtesy the Treasure Bakery.“In addition, Moremi Restaurant has been giving us free food for the children. We appreciate all other partners and individuals who have been helping the less privileged through our NGO,” Alabi said.Alabi specially commended the MD of Treasure Bakery, Dr Femi Akande, for single handedly paying the school fees of over 200 orphaned children, in addition to the regular provisions of food and other items for the children.She, however appealed to organisations, governments, groups and wealthy individuals in the society to donate generously such as cash, food and other relief items to help alleviate the suffering of vulnerable children.One of the orphaned students, who spoke on anonymity, commended the NGO for helping them all this while without being tired of the less privileged children.
