GIPLC picks N100m medical bills of 15 children, others
A Non-Governmental Organization, the Global Initiative for Peace Love and Care (GIPLC) yesterday gave out N100million to offset the medical bills of 15 children and others with some chronic diseases.
The less privileged children will undergo treatment at home and abroad, especially complex surgeries.
The beneficiaries, who were selected from different parts of the country, were handed over symbolic cheques yesterday.
According to the Director General and National Coordinator of GIPLC, Nuhu Kwajafa, the cash was raised at the birthday/charity dinner of the Grand Patron of the NGO, Igho Charles Sanomi in Paris, France on May 20th, 2023,
He advised those who are privileged in the society to emulate Sanomi in order to continue to assist the poor ones in the society.
He said with the latest disbursement, the organization has so far raised and spent N400million on medical assistance and charity this year.
Kwajafa said the government alone cannot assist the poor in the society, adding that the foundation will do more to assist Nigerians with another N500 million.
He said: “The Global Initiative for Peace Love and Care (GIPLC), a trailblazing NGO dedicated to addressing critical medical issues faced by children in Nigeria, is set to make a profound impact by presenting life-changing cheques totaling over N100million to Nigerian children requiring surgeries both within and outside the country. These funds, equivalent to approximately $160,000.00, were generously raised during a remarkable birthday/charity dinner held in Paris, France. The event, hosted by our esteemed Grand Patron, Igho Charles Sanomi, on May 20th, 2023, demonstrated the incredible power of compassion and unity in transforming lives.
