As part of the mission to identify with and cater for the need
of the people in the society, popular juju maestro Asiwaaju Dele Taiwo and his wife, Chief Mrs. Mosunmade Taiwo has taken it upon themselves to
reach out to the needy through their NGO called SYCAMORE CARING HANDS.
Sycamore caring
Hands
is a foundation that has been running well over a year and has never relented
from its purpose of putting smiles on people's faces especially during last year
pandemic.
Due to their concern for both old and young people's health, the non-governmental organisation recently took its second free health care programme to Agege community area of Lagos State within THE SACRED CHERUBIM AND SERAPHIM CHURCH, OKE IYANU PARISH premises.
The charity programme was a 3 days event held on 3rd –
5th of December, 2021
It was gathered that a large number of people turned out and were
offered free medical diagnoses and drugs to help in stabilising their health
condition.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of the
Organisation, Asiwaaju Dele Taiwo, said the programme was
meant to reach out to people with medical needs especially the elders in the
community who are among the neglected and abandoned elders in the society to
offer some support to them and help restore their happiness and hope.
“The elderly in Nigeria and most parts of Africa are abandoned
and not being catered for.
Why we seek for better government policy that will touch lives
positively, we’re trying to bring succour to them in their natural environment
where they can feel happy and be optimistic about the future. We want to
restore hope back to them because so many of them have been disconnected from society and our leaders are careless about the situation.
So, my wife and I have taken this upon ourselves to act as a voice
for the voiceless, many of these elderly people are facing a lot of problems and
no one shows concern and these are people that have contributed immensely
towards the growth of society but today they’re abandoned.
We need to create that awareness so that support can be given
to them, and so that they can be carried along in the scheme of proper care.
So, today, we’re here to give them life and make them happy. We’re offering
them free medical tests and drugs just to help their health.
So far, 12 people have been enlisted this week for free eyes surgery and free drugs to help people living with high blood pressure, also free eye drops, this program is no age bound, it's open to all and sundry and by God's grace, we're going to continue the next phase as from February 2022.
