The Global Initiative for Peace, Love and Care (GIPLC) has launched a new initiative Project known as ‘Touch a life.’ The GIPLC, which will cater for about 1,000 patient in three states over three weeks, kicked off on April 25. It will end on May 17.
Founder and Chairman of Taleveras, and past recipient of a Dr. Martin Luther King Legacy Award for Philanthropy and International Service, Igho Sanomi, said that the organization, which was founded in 2006 to cater for orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria, launched the project as part of his birthday celebrations and to commemorate the GIPLC’s 11th anniversary.
He said that the 1,000 identified vulnerable Nigerians in Abuja, Delta and Benue States will receive financial support to subsidize and assist their medical bills. He added that visits will also be made to patients to follow up on their progress.
According to him, full professional team of GIPLC staff, doctors and nurses have been deployed to ensure the desired impact is met and lives are touched and saved.
“Supporting the work of the GIPLC is something I have done for many years, in many ways. This year I wanted to do something which would help even more of the vulnerable people who have been at the core of the GIPLC activities. This unique initiative seeks to touch the lives of the most needy members of our communities at a time when they need it the most. This is something I believe in wholeheartedly and to which I am pleased to have been able to lend my support.”
the GIPLC Co-ordinator, Nuhu Kwajafa, said: “We give God all the glory for His blessings and the capacity and the will, for people like Igho Sanomi to give back to those in need. We pray that by this gesture, ICS II will endear others to do same, so we may sustain this practice on a yearly basis. Ultimately, the goal is to stimulate the mobilisation of resources and raise awareness on the plight of those living in especially difficult circumstances. GIPLC will coordinate and share this experience daily. God bless you all.”
Project “TOUCH A LIFE TODAY” visited Ughelli General Hospital and Kiagbodo General Hospital in Delta state on 2nd May 2017. So far 131 patients, including children, women and men had their medical bills subsidized. [myad]
