NGO provides N100m aid to 15 children in health crisis
An NGO, Global Initiative for Peace Love and Care (GIPLC), on Thursday donated N100 million to 15 children with critical health conditions.
General Manager/National Coordinator, GIPLC, Nuhu Kwajafa, said during the payout of the checks in Abuja that the gesture would address critical medical issues requiring surgeries inside and outside the country.
He congratulated Igho Sanomi, the great patron of the group, for making it possible to donate the money to the beneficiaries.
He added that the funds, equivalent to approximately US$160,000.00, were raised at a birthday/charity dinner hosted by Mr. Sanomi in May.
"If every Nigerian should do the right thing, it will help a lot. So many Nigerian children are dying every day.
"My driving force is the smile you see on recipients' faces, saying thank you or their faces after a successful operation.
“Just like today, the beneficiaries who had benefited before and who are doing well are another motivation for me,” he said.
Mr. Kwajafa noted that although some donor agencies support vulnerable children in various ways, they rarely cover the medical costs of sick children with critical health conditions.
He therefore called on the government and other stakeholders to continue supporting the improvement of the health and well-being of children, especially the most vulnerable and underprivileged.

"We weren't asking for money; we just needed educational materials. So when we write to you and invite you to programs, show commitment," he said.
>Mr. Kwajafa reiterated GIPLC's commitment to promoting sustainable and participatory community-based charitable projects that uplift vulnerable children and widows in Nigeria and around the world.
Hauwa Ibrahim, the mother of Fai'za Ibrahim, 13, a beneficiary, said the N10 million support for her daughter suffering from spine, loose bowel and lack of control of the urine will be used for the surgery.
