Foundation unveils programme for less-privileged persons in Lagos

A non-Governmental Organisation, Obafemi-Moses Foundation (OMF), has feted less-privileged persons during an official launch of the foundation at Modupe Cole Memorial (special people’s home) in Lagos.

Speaking at the launch on Sunday, the President of OMF, Dr. Olayinka Obafemi-Moses, said the foundation seed was sown in 2012, noting that he has been able to work by its mandate with meagre resources, yet lives are being touched.

“When we got this vision, my wife and I ran with it and evidently today, many other friends and partners received the vision as well and here we are today.

“For OMF, the joyless within our reach must be joyful, the homeless must have an abode, and the unkempt and uncared for must also be cared for.

“To this end, the meagre resources that we gather through our partners and friends are put into making life bearable and easier for those in the lower rung of the societal ladder because they deserve to be taken care of.

“The Government cannot do it all, if we want to give succor to the less privileged in society, then we must join hands together by committing our resources to ensure that those who do not have are made to shine by giving necessary support,” he said.

Chief Executive Officer of OMF, Mrs. Olufunmilola Obafemi-Moses said that the foundation was created with the vision to reach out to the motherless and those that need help in society.

She said that the essence of launching the foundation in the home was to make the children happy and for them actually enjoyed themselves.

Extolling the gesture, a teacher at Modupe Cole Memorial School, Mr. Kareem Akeem, thanked the foundation for coming to the home, adding it is something that they always loved.
