Elderly women numbering about 500, and 700 public secondary school students in Osun State have benefitted from the palliative support and giveaways by Erelu Funmi Ayoola Foundation.
The beneficiaries, who are widows and the elderly, got various kinds of support from the Erelu Funmi Ayoola Foundation Cash and Food Palliative while under-privileged secondary school students numbering 500 in Ipetumodu received support ranging from scholarship, exercise books and sundry writing materials.
Erelu Ayoola expressed the hope to reach even more people in need with help and support from donors and volunteers from all parts of the world, and therefore called for the support of friends and well- wishers to be able to provide more palliative support for the less-privileged. She said the programme was part of a broader campaign to combat hunger and lack in the community and beyond.
Also speaking on the occasion of the distribution of the palliatives, the Olubakun of Ibakun, Ipetumodu, Chief Abiodun Ogundiran, noted that the move was a good one as it was important and commendable that people who can, should support the less privileged.
The Olubakun said individuals could only offer palliative measures and therefore called on the government to rise to the occasion of revamping the economy so as to lift Nigerians, especially the rural dwellers from the economic doldrums.
Some of the beneficiaries who commended Erelu Funmi Ayoola Foundation for the initiative, called on the government to find a way to reduce the cost of petrol in the country, saying they believed that this was the major cause of high inflation in the country.
Through this initiative, we remain steadfast in our mission to uplift lives and strengthen our community, one act of kindness at a time.
