A non-profit organisation in Abeokuta, Ogun State, Anwojue Hope Foundation, has charged members of the Ijebu-Ife community with the importance of proper nutrition and health to their general well-being.
The foundation gave the charge during a community outreach in Ijebu-Ife on Saturday, where it stressed that optimal healthcare is non-negotiable even as it said proper nutrition is “like a medicine in your body; you eat well, you live well.”
At the outreach, a member of the foundation and an educationist, Temiloluwa Taiwo, while speaking on ‘Health and Nutrition,’ noted that despite the dire straits of the economy, which have caused many to cut costs, it is important not to compromise on nutrition and health.
In his presentation on ‘Child Rights and Abuse,’ Austin Kebi Ebibo, a social worker and representative of Family Development, a community-based organisation, harped on the rights of children, including the right to education as enshrined in the Child Rights Act.
Ebibo also called on the participants to frown and endeavour to stamp out all forms of the menace of child abuse while sharing signs of child abuse and what to do when such cases arise.
The foundation also discussed career choices for children and how to curb family separation in society.
Other members of the foundation at the outreach include the programme Officer, Samuel Adeniyi, and the assistant programme officer, Funsho Ojokobirikale.
During the outreach, which had over 200 people in attendance, the foundation gave out assistive devices such as crutches to physically challenged people.
The foundation also provided food packs, free medical checkups, and consultation sessions for participants on things like blood sugar, blood pressure, and urinalysis, among others.
