In continued efforts to give support to the livelihoods of the needy and less privileged, Global Initiative For Peace, Love and Care, GIPLC, has donated cheques to about 15 children with critical health conditions to cater for their development and give them succour.

Speaking yesterday during the Presentation of N100 Million Naira cheques held in Abuja, Director General/ National Coordinator of GIPLC, Nuhu Kwajafa said that from January to date, about 400 Million Naira has been spent to treat children.

Nuhu stated that the efforts would address critical medical issues requiring surgeries both within and outside the country.

He added that the funds equivalent to approximately $160,000.00 was raised during a birthday/charity dinner held in Paris, France hosted their Grand Patron, Igho Charles-Sanomi in May.

“If every Nigerian should do the right thing, this will help a long way. So many Nigerian children are dying everyday.

“My driving force is the smile you see on the faces of recipients, saying thank you or their faces after a successful surgery.

“Just like today, the beneficiaries who had previously benefitted and are doing ok is another motivation for me”he said.

He noted that even though some donor agencies supports vulnerable children in various ways, but rarely takes the responsibilities of medical bills for ailing children with critical health condition.

He therefore appealed to the government and other stakeholders to continue to support towards improving the health and wellbeing of children, especially the vulnerable and less privileged.

“Last year in December, we had an end of year party for 5,000 orphans and we wrote to all the governors, ministers and MDAs asking for educational materials and none of them responded.

“We were not asking for money, we just needed educational materials, so when we write and invite you for programes, show commitment,” he said.

Mrs Hauwa Ibrahim, mother of 13 years old Faiza Ibrahim said the N10 million would enable her daughter undergo surgery for her spinal injury, which makes her have loose bowels and lack of urinary control.
