Children’s Day: Foundation visits orphanage, seeks support for out-of-school kids

A Non-Governmental Organisation, IA-Foundation, has visited and donated books and mathematical sets to Little Saints Orphanage Home in celebration of Children’s Day.

Speaking on this visit, the Founder/CEO, Mrs Ibironke Adeagbo, noted that the organisation’s goal is to make positive impact on the young lives and remind them that they are loved and valued.

Adeagbo added that the initiative is one of the strategic strands of the foundation, ensuring no child is left behind irrespective of their background.

She, therefore, encouraged the government, corporates, NGOs and individuals to work collaboratively to ensure that no child is left on the streets without access to education.

According to her, it is crucial for all sectors to work together and support these children and provide them with the opportunities they deserve.

Adeagbo added that the visit was part of the foundation’s commitment to community service and child welfare, emphasising the importance of giving back and fostering a sense of hope and happiness among the less fortunate.

“Our goal is to make positive impact on these young lives and remind them that they are loved and valued. This initiative is one of the strategic strands of our foundation, ensuring no child is left behind irrespective of their background.

“I want to use this opportunity to encourage the government, corporates, NGOs and individuals to work collaboratively to ensure that no child is left on the street without access to education,” she stated.

Meanwhile, the founder, while speaking on Radio Show called Round of Applause, informed everyone to visit their portal on their website (www.ia-foundation.org) to sponsor out-of-school children, assuring that the foundation will not stop taking children off the streets for better education.

Adeagbo noted that they focus on children who are vulnerable such as orphans, fatherless, and those whose parents do not have the economic power to send them to school.

She, therefore, appealed for the promulgation of law dealing with parents who refuse to send their children to school.
