A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) knows as The Beulah World Initiative (BWI), has provided free medical services to hundreds of grassroots residents in Lagos State.
The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that residents of Idimu and its environs benefitted from the BWI medical outreach
Ms Chichi Ononiwu, the Visioner of Beulah World Initiative, in her remarks during the free medical services, said the programme was initiated by God to cater for humanity.
“Our mission is to advance the quality of life of rural and sub-urban communities in Sub-Saharan Africa through the improvement of health, the support of education, the enhancement of social responsibility and poverty alleviation.
“We also have a vision to promote decent quality of life in African communities via the drive for communal responsibility and care about the plight of our neighbor thereby preserving the sanity of the human society.
“We give as a means of retaining our humanity, not as propaganda. We drive hope,” she said.
According to her, Beulah World Initiative started in 2006 and it has grown into a network of friends, leaders and volunteers, who are united and passionate about creating an enduring deep sense of responsibility in the mindset of the average African.
Ononiwu said that BWI craved for the empowerment of a generation, through compassion, mentorship, training and skills development, and possibly initial start-up capital or financial help, where necessary.
According to her, the organisation is a harbinger of hope and possibilities for needy communities, especially women, children and youths.
“We are passionate about alleviating the pains of governments’ developmental policy implementation gaps by encouraging people to take responsibility for their well-being and personal development as well as that of their immediate environment,” she said.
In his remarks, Dr Joshua Oluwasuyi, a member of the organisation’s Medical Volunteer Team, said that the gesture would go a long way to assist the grassroots communities.
“The free medical services are worthwhile, desirable and a call to duty to help humanity.
“Beulah World Initiative has been doing this for some years now; this is not my first time volunteering with them.”
“They have been doing wonderfully well in offering free medical services to the people in various communities without considering ethnicity and religious background,” he said.
