Growing up as a teen on the streets of Obalende has shown me that a girl can 'hawk' or sell herself just to eat and get clothings. Boys can steal just to keep clothe on their body. In 1998, I received a vision to to reach to the youths and the less privileged. That's the brainchild of our coming together. To provide succor for those we can, for someone whom today is a little less privileged. Someone out there can benefit from what we have.
Our goal and desire is to gather 2,000,000 clothes for the poor. A larger part of this will be washed by celebrities and willing individuals. Our primary goal is to create awareness and motivate Nigerians and Africans to always remember the poor especially the naked because we will always have them in our midst. Let's encourage people to give out what they are about to throw out from their wardrobes. Africa has always waited for relief materials from foreign donors but how can we ourselves help ourselves?
1. As part of activities marking my birthday on Sept 18th, I will want us to give out the first 200 clothes from the 2,000,000. And on December 12th another 2000 so that people can have clothes for December. We will be helping to reduce crime and atrocities by this. You can help by donating clothes or helping in gathering from people who have to donate.
I am gathering clothes here in Lagos for charity and I also have some Exercise books. The essence is to give them to those who truly need hope.
On my birthday, Sept 18th, I'll like to flag off some of the projects by taking the things I have, to IDPs, orphanage, Schools and indigent children but I can't do it all alone. So I need a team especially reps in each state
2. We want to hold Wash for charity in Lagos on the 12th of Dec and a national Wash For Charity grand finale on May 28th 2016. Wash for charity is an initiative to turn public attention, people's attention to the naked in the society. There so many less privileged walking amongst us on the streets, even next door to us.
The idea is to generate awareness for the project using celebrities and the general public
Can I add you to a list of volunteers I already have?

Let's exchange ideas and information.
3. You can also be a part of the stay in School project. We have some exercise books to donate freely to schools or IDP camps with school or indigent children. The goal is to produce 10,000 exercise books for free donation as Part of our educational support. At the moment we only have 500 books.Other plans include providing a free lunch bag, food & water flask, a pen, a pencil, so that in the Bag, an under privilege child can have one lunch bag, 10 exercise books a pen, a pencil and a May be a mathematical set. You can decide how you can come in, whether it's in cash or in kind. God bless
4. You can recommend an orphanage or charity home or School or any one you know needs all the above mentioned.
5. It will be a gr8 idea to have representatives in every state in Nigeria. We need to be on the team, everyone, to the schools and orphanages. At the moment we have a rep in maiduguri, cameroun, jos and the bulk of us are in Lagos.
