The Ajoke Ayisat Afolabi Foundation remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting communities in need, according to Hajiya Adama Haruna Abdulmalik, the foundation’s coordinator.
A team of journalists from various media organizations, including a reporter from Daily Struggle newspaper, recently visited the Ajoke Ayisat Afolabi Foundation center in Hanwa, Sabon Gari Local Government Area of Kaduna State, to observe and report on the foundation’s ongoing initiatives.
The visitors were warmly received by Hajiya Adama, who expressed gratitude for their visit and provided an overview of the foundation’s work and impact.
During her address, Hajiya Adama explained that the foundation was established over a decade ago and has since made significant strides in serving vulnerable populations.
She highlighted the foundation’s key areas of intervention, stating: “The foundation primarily supports children and adults in need, with dedicated sections addressing their educational, vocational, and healthcare needs. We have an educational section for children, as well as a vocational training program that equips individuals with practical skills to enhance their livelihoods.”
Hajiya Adama also described the foundation’s healthcare program, which provides medical assistance to underserved communities. This includes both direct treatment and financial support to help beneficiaries access necessary medical care.
In addition to these core services, she noted that the foundation plays a vital role during Ramadan, distributing bags of rice and other essential items to families in need, helping them observe the holy month without undue hardship.
The foundation also assists thousands of people who are prescribed medications but cannot afford them. Through its medical support program, the foundation either covers the cost of prescribed drugs or provides financial assistance to purchase them.
Hajiya Adama further emphasised that the foundation’s efforts extend beyond its own programs, as it actively welcomes partnerships and collaborations with individuals and organizations interested in supporting humanitarian causes.
In her closing remarks, she appealed to the Muslim community, noting that the foundation has received considerable support from non-Muslims. She urged fellow Muslims to engage more actively in charitable giving and community service, underscoring the importance of contributing to good causes.
The Ajoke Ayisat Afolabi Foundation continues to stand as a beacon of hope, demonstrating the transformative power of community-driven initiatives.
