ABEOKUTA–A non-governmental organisation (NGO), Feed Needy World Initiative has given financial support to a tuition free school, Sought After Creative Academy in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital.
As part of it efforts to impact the world positively and help the disadvantaged and vulnerable members of the public, the NGO also bankrolled the payment of Examination fees of some inmates at the Correctional Centre, Ibara Abeokuta.
Speaking to Newsmen after the donations, the Director of Events and Operations of the organisation, Eniola Damiliola Majekodunmi emphasized that the main aim is to help the needy where they needed it most and add value to the lives of vulnerable members in the society.
“Feed Needy World Initiative is here to give cash and gift items to these children today, to support them and encourage them because they are the future of this nation.
“We believe government alone cannot do everything and it is our role as partners in progress and as NGO to fill some vacuums where government is lagging behind, particularly on education and welfare for the less privileged”, she said
In her remarks, the proprietress of the school, Mrs Toluwalope Anfela-Jacob expressed gratitude to the NGO for deeming it fit to support the school, adding that the school, being a tuition-free school has been battling to pay staff salaries and keep up with running the school.
In an emotional laden voice, Mrs Anfela-Jacob said, “this is the first time an NGO is supporting the children and the school,
“We are really grateful to the Feed Needy World Initiative for locating the school despite our remote location.
“I am very encouraged and I pray that God almighty bless the Chief Executive and Founder of this NGO, Mr. Eromosele Isaac Oluwafemi as well as other volunteers and people involved in Feed Needy World Initiative”.
About 60 students benefited from the feeding exercise, with a donation of the sum of N250,000 cash and other gift items as palliatives to the beneficiaries.
