At birthday Siju Iluyomade renews commitment to uplifting less Privileged

To commemorate her 59th birthday tomorrow Sunday, January 8, 2023, the founder of Arise Women Foundation (AWF), Dr. Siju Iluyomade has renewed her relentlessness to empower the less privileged and support the effort of Nigeria government in every area of endeavor.

Regardless of religion, tribe, or ethnicity, the corporate lawyer and philanthropist Siju as she is fondly called is known to have nurtured charitable hopes and determination to help women efficiently thrive in life and has continued to give her all to better the lives of many, using her AWF as a vehicle to intervene in so many areas of human needs.

Her efforts to empower the less privileged with the Non-Governmental Organisation have been acclaimed to be one of the most outstanding among the lots who follow the same passion as hers.

Remarking, Siju said her dream is to make sure Arise affects every part of human life globally in terms of health, housing, education, empowerment, farming and many more.

The philanthropist added that in the last 15 years, her foundation has achieved so much by putting structures like hospitals, school buildings, computerised libraries, and boreholes in many communities in Abuja, Ondo, Imo, Kebbi and Lagos states to mention a few.

Through her humanitarian work, she has also branded a food basket called ‘Arise Pink Bucket’ – with contents that include food items like rice, semovita, tomato paste, and groundnut oil, which is distributed to every local government across Nigeria.

The Impact of the Arise Pink Bucket was felt by Nigerians during the last Arise Women Conference held on Saturday October 29 2022 at the Trinity Towers, City of David RCCG, Lagos as no fewer than 10,000 were given the Arise food basket that contains varieties of food stuff. The hospital built in Kabusa, a suburb area in Abuja for the less privileged, has continued to give free services for people in the area, with several success stories in operations.

A birthday thanksgiving will be held in Siju’s honour at the Trinity Towers RCCG, Lagos where thousands of individuals will also be empowered under the auspices of the Arise Women brand.

Meanwhile, Siju who shares the same birthday date with Wife of Lagos State Governor Mrs. Ibijoke Sanwo-Olu and Minister for Women Affairs, Paulen Tallen, two women who have been part of activities of Arise Women at several occasions also used the opportunity to celebrate her womenfolk. Siju said: “I celebrate with Mrs. Sanwo-Olu and Mrs. Tallen who have been part of the success story of Arise. I pray that their shining lights will not dim.”
