Ahead of World Humanitarian Day, a foundation, Always Sisters, has called on Nigerians to remember the poor in their midst.
She said the government and some privileged Nigerians should not look the other way while so many Nigerians, especially, women and children are in need.
August 19, every year, has been set aside as World Humanitarian Day.
While on a humanitarian visit to Lokotiye, a border community between the Federal Capital Territory and Nasarawa State, the Chief Executive Officer of Always Sisters Foundation, Mrs Chika Kate Obiechina advised Nigerians to be their brothers’ keeper.
She said: ”Our activities focus on the development of children; young girls and women, especially indigent women. This is because we know that in society, women are the hands that cradle the children. So, we thought it would be nice to intervene in the lives of the women.
According to her, this is not the first outreach the foundation, which was registered in 2011, has carried out.
”All the items we came here with, were made possible by these women that came with me.
Items such as food, clothes, sanitary pads, shoes and books were distributed among women and children in the community.
