Compassion is an act of mercy that knows no bounds. During times of celebration, it is important to remember those in vulnerable situations, including orphans and those incarcerated, in our acts and prayers.
I want to take a moment to express my gratitude towards my dear husband, HE Bukola Saraki, and the Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation Nigeria for supporting the Wellbeing Foundation Africa’s Alaafia Kwara Initiative during the ongoing Abubakar Bukola Saraki Foundation’s Annual Ramadan Food Palliatives and Iftar Series.
Thanks to their generous donation, the Alaafia Kwara Initiative Team from the Wellbeing Foundation Africa Field Office was able to continue and replenish its annual distribution of food and clean drinkable water to public-minded groups, institutional care homes, rehabilitative correctional facilities, schools, and health centers across Kwara State. This includes our WBFA Mamacare360 Personal Social and Health Education PSHE Facilities throughout Kwara State.
Initiated in 2004 and sustained to date, the Committed To Caring Alaafia Kwara Initiative is dedicated to enhancing social care, health, and wellbeing of every Kwaran, in alignment with the thematic human capital development programming intrinsic to our Wellbeing Economy Agenda.
The Wellbeing Foundation Africa Team in Kwara State continues its annual tradition of supporting and empowering the most vulnerable, including orphans and those incarcerated, through the Wellbeing Foundation Africa Alaafia Kwara Initiative.
