“We extend our gratitude to all partners, volunteers, and supporters whose contributions make this initiative possible.
“Most importantly, we extend our heartfelt appreciation to our President and Founder, Dr. (Mrs) Aisha Sulaiman Achimugu, for her compassionate leadership and unwavering commitment to uplifting the vulnerable members of society,” she explained.
