Project-VAL

"Charity is an act of kindness where a person who has more than enough of what he or she needs contributes a part of his or her surplus income for the fulfilment of the needs of those who are less capable." - Kirti Daga
It is against the "surplus income" described by Kirti Daga , that Step Up Foundation took to the streets on Valentines day; Feb 14, 2019 to donate foods, clothings and other relief materials to destitutes, Orphans, Motherless and less privileged in four States (Osun, Kwara, Lagos and Rivers) across Nigeria.

Mostly constituted by students and fresh graduates, Step Up Foundations is a non Governmental Organization with the sole aim of empowering women, supporting the less privilege and promoting youth participation in Nation building with basic educational tools (SDG 4 – Quality Education) .

This year edition tagged Project-VAL (Voluntary Alms for the Less Privileged) was made successful by members donating money, gently used clothes, mosquito nets, cooked and raw foods, shoes and other edibles.

Step Up Foundation partnered with Nigerianthem (a non-profit organization) and Young African Leaders Forum.

It is important to state that members and volunteers raised money and materials from stipends given to them by parents or small incomes made from petty works. If a laudable project like this can be well supported by governments, private and individuals, it will go a long way to ensure that the vision of realizing a better society is attained.

Project-VAL is an annual program and if you are reading this thread, you can be part of next year edition and other meaningful projects that Step Up Foundation embarks on.

7 Medical Doctors died along Abuja-Kaduna Road

#NMA-Ekiti-7:  Dr. Dele Atiba gives a life account after surviving a ghastly motor accident that took the lives of 7 members of Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) Ekiti Branch. This date  (24/04/2016) has stuck to my memory like it’s super glued to my frontal lobe since last year.  It was a Black Sunday! Many lives were lost. Dreams cut short. Aspirations thwarted. Children became orphans and wives turn to widows.  I dont think there is nothing that can erase it as long as I live. As a survivor, scars of bodily injuries abound, emotional trauma lingers and psychological trauma persists. The Ekiti Branch of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) delegates to the Annual Delegates Meeting of 2016 in Sokoto had a ghastly motor accident along Abuja-Kaduna road at about 4:30pm in the afternoon. Thirteen lives  12 doctors and their driver wee in the bus. The rear tyre got burst, the bus somersaulted severally, and some were thrown out of the vehicle  six died o...

The Tale of Mr. Segun Anozie: A Story of Duty, Love, and the Battle for Balance.

In a bustling city, where dr eams often collide with harsh realities, there lived a man named Segun Anozie. A father, a husband, and a man who bore the weight of providing for his family, not just in the physical sense but with every ounce of his being. Every day, as he navigated the chaotic streets in his humble car, he carried more than just passengers. He carried the hopes of his children, the dreams of his wife, and the unyielding pressure to protect and provide for those he loved most. Then one day, fate brought a stranger into his life—Asherkine, a well-known Digital content creator, influencer, and philanthropist. What started as a simple transaction—a ride to the mall—turned into an unexpected blessing. Asherkine, moved by Segun’s sincerity and dedication, decided to give him a gift that most would see as a his normal gesture. But for Segun, it was more. As he carefully selected items (rice and TV) for his wife and children, he wasn’t just shopping; he was trying to fulfill hi...
