- Beneficiaries urged to use donated wheelchairs, sewing machines, and other items properly, not sell them, during CYNBI’s empowerment program
- Princess Adepeju Adeyemi emphasized kindness, calling it foundational for relationships and encouraging its practice during the distribution event
Beneficiaries of wheelchairs, walking frames, sewing machines, shoes, and other items have been urged to properly use them instead of selling them.
This appeal was made by Mr. Adeniyi Kabiru (Kulukulu), Founder and President of the Charitable Youth for Nation Building Initiative (CYNBI), during an empowerment and palliative distribution program organized by the foundation over the weekend.
During the event, over 150 beneficiaries from Ibadan, Iwo, and nearby areas received food items such as rice, semovita, and cooking oil. Additionally, about 25 people with disabilities (PWDs) and the elderly were given wheelchairs and walking frames, while two women received sewing machines.
Adeniyi highlighted that the foundation’s post-empowerment monitoring scheme revealed that some recipients of walking aids and empowerment tools often sell them due to financial difficulties.
Princess Adepeju Adeyemi, the foundation’s director of overseas operations, emphasized the importance of kindness during a chat with Daily Trust. She described kindness as the foundation of any relationship and encouraged everyone to practice kindness.
Princess Adeyemi, daughter of the late Alaafin Lamidi Adeyemi, co-founded the Mary Eriya House of Refuge Foundation (MEHORF) with her grandmother, Mrs. Mary Eriyamremu. She hoped the empowerment program would remind everyone that kindness is a legacy worth striving for.
