As part of its Corporate Social Responsibility, the Gbajumo Ladies Club has empowered over 1,000 aged people and widows with food items and other materials worth millions of naira in Oyo and Ogun states.
The presentation was made on Monday, at the premises of the Broadcasting Corporation of Oyo State (BCOS) over the weekend.
According to the President of the Club, Mrs. Oluyemisi Olaniyi, the gesture aims to cushion the effect of the present economic hardship in the country, especially on aged people and young widows.
“We are in Ibadan, Oyo State, to reaffirm our commitment to our mission and to reinvigorate our efforts towards the vulnerable elderly,” she said.
The beneficiaries thanked the organisers for their benevolence, stressing the need for corporate organisations and private individuals to be kind to the vulnerable elderly persons in society.
The club plans to focus more on reaching out to the vulnerable elderly, poor widows with young children, and school programs in 2025.
