Speaking further, Azemobor said “This initiative is in line with our Project-Help-a-Child Global Campaign that is envisioned to ‘create a world where no child lives in lack’. We are determined to ensure that every poor child in Nigeria is provided adequate clothing. Let me also use this opportunity to enjoin Nigerians to be their brother’s keeper and, learn to always give to the poor and the needy around them. Look, if you have some clothes that you have not worn for the past six months, I do not think you need those clothes. Please give them out to the less privilege around you, who obviously need them. Do you even know that your children’s clothes that are stacked up in the wardrobe can bring great succor to a poor family? Come on, let us show some love to each other!””The vision of the Project-Help-a-Child Cloth Bank is to build a big warehouse that will serve as a massive collection and distribution center for used clothes, shoes, school bags, toys etc. The rich and average families can walk in and drop their unused children and adult clothes, and other items. While the poor can also walk in with their children to get free clothes. The facility will also have a laundry, barbing saloon and free food kitchen”
The Ajegunle-Ikorodu free clothes distribution was a massive success as residents: children , adults and the elderlies trooped out amidst the showers of rain to benefit from the gesture. They were full of smiles as they thanked the Project-Help-a-Child team for their noble vision.
According to Azemobor, the free clothes distribution program will be done on monthly basis and the organization is appealing to appeal to kind- hearted Nigerians to support the project by sending in their unused clothes. Just give them a call and they would be there to pick up. Call 08084701414,
