Ilorin Emirate Youth Development Association (IEYDA) has extended a helping hand to patients at Olomo-wewe Hospital in Ilorin, providing them with food items and cash donations. This gesture is part of the organization’s annual empowerment program, aimed at supporting vulnerable individuals in the community.
Led by National President Alhaji Muhammed Uthman-Jagunmo, the IEYDA team visited the hospital on Thursday, January 16, 2025, to distribute the donations. The program is designed to bring relief and smiles to the faces of patients, many of whom are struggling to offset their medical expenses.
According to Alhaji Uthman-Jagunmo, the primary objective of the IEYDA is to promote peace and understanding among community members, while also working towards the socio-economic development of Ilorin emirate and state in general.
Highlighting the importance of food items in patient care, Alhaji Uthman-Jagunmo noted that hunger has become a leading cause of hospitalization. He appealed to governments, individuals, and organizations to donate food items to their local hospitals.
The patients, who were visibly grateful for the support, expressed their appreciation to the Ilorin Emirate Youth for their kindness and generosity. The IEYDA’s efforts are a shining example of community-led initiatives making a positive impact on people’s lives.
