Highlighting the broader impact of BoxAid’s work, Odigbo referenced the story of Ope, a child whose life has been transformed through sustained medical aid and care—an example of the tangible impact of BoxAid’s compassionate intervention.
“Among the many impactful stories is that of Ope, whose remarkable journey exemplifies the organisation’s mission in action. Through targeted interventions, medical aid, and continuous care, Ope’s story has become a testament to the power of compassion and persistence in changing lives.
