A women and girl child-focused non-governmental organisation, the Adorable Women International (AWI), on Saturday, conducted a free medical outreach for 250 vulnerable women in Ibadan, the Oyo State capital.
The outreach which was conducted in collaboration with the Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria (PPFN), covered breast and cervical cancer screening, HIV counselling, treatment and care and family planning.
Speaking at the outreach, the president of the Adorable Women International, Hajia Zainab Akim-Yusuf, remarked that this followed the tradition of the organisation in making lives better for members of society.
She noted that the Adorable Women International had made several visits and donations to orphanages and people with special needs in Oyo, Ogun and Lagos states on an annual basis. The organisation had also given substantial amounts in grants to widows and differently-abled persons to boost or start up their small-scale businesses.
About this time last year, AWI also donated delivery kits to expectant mothers at The State Hospital, Yemetu, Adeoyo, Ibadan to promote safe and healthy child-bearing.
Hajia Akim-Yusuf, pointed out that these programs are mostly financed from the personal resources of the members of the organisation. She thanked their various collaboration partners over the years, as well as supporting individuals and organisations for joining the efforts to build a better society.
She restated the unwavering commitment of the Adorable Women International and its members to service to humanity and the improvement of the lot of the less privileged.
