In Nigeria, many women and children are in dire straits. Without the programs created by Anita Dasilva Ibru, many of these women and children would die of starvation and disease. Working with the chairman and founder of the Erelu Adebayo Foundation, Erelu Angela Adebayo, Ibru has made an amazing difference in the lives of many.
Many people today cannot imagine being in their homes starving or dying from diseases like HIV. The sad fact is it is happening often in Nigeria. You would be shocked to know there households of Nigeria being led by children, parents dead due to starvation and disease. The ERAF has given homes to these children and food. This foundation has given these kids hope for a future when they had none.
The doctor has a Masters Degree in Public Health that she uses wisely. The programs she has designed and implemented are one reason so many widowed wives and their kids have made it back on their own feet. She has put together programs that help widows get necessary job training. She has also designed programs that provide scholarships for children to attend school.
In so many cases, women feel rejected in society if they are on their own with children. This is even true for women that have lost their husbands to death. In the world, most societies are cold and uncaring to these women. Thanks to the work of this woman and many others in the foundation, the widowed women in Nigeria no longer have to worry about the looks from others and casting eyes because of their circumstances.
The amazing attribute about Ibru and the other four board members at this foundation is how they run it. They are non profit, meaning they are making this huge difference on donated monies alone. Many others around the globe could learn a lot from the work these people are doing for others. The world needs more people like Anita Kemi Dasilva Ibru.
