FROM RAHILA ABDULLAHI, KADUNA
No fewer than 500 Nigerians have benefitted from Queen Adenike Tejuosho, QAT, Foundation with a cash giveaway of N20,000 each.
The gesture was aimed at commemorating the annual September 5 World Charity Day to alleviate the suffering of the less privileged and vulnerable members of society, and to promote kindness.
The foundation’s philanthropic gesture, which coincided with the global celebration of kindness and charity, brought succor to the beneficiaries, who were carefully selected from various walks of life.
Speaking in Abuja on Thursday, the Founder of QAT Foundation, Hajiya Halimat Tejuosho, said every act of charity counts no matter how little and urged members of the society to prioritise humanity in their daily lives.
She said, “As we commemorate World Charity Day, let us remember the importance of generosity, kindness and empathy towards one another, and strive to make the world a better place for all. Together, we can create a more compassionate and inclusive society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive and succeed.

”QAT Foundation’s humanitarian effort is a testament to the power of kindness and generosity in transforming lives and communities. The foundation’s commitment to support those in need serves as a beacon of hope and inspiration to others.
“We believe that by giving back to the community, we are helping to build a more equitable society where everyone has the opportunity to thrive. As the world celebrates World Charity Day, the foundation’s gesture serves as a reminder of the impact we can have when we come together to make a difference,” Tejuosho said.
One of the beneficiaries, Agnes Simon, who spoke with journalists shortly after the event, said that they are overwhelmed with emotion, praising QAT Foundation for its kindness and generosity.
They also shared stories of how the empowerment would help them meet their basic needs, such as pay bills, and support their families.
Simon averred that the gesture is in the right direction, hence her call on other philanthropists to emulate Tejuosho’s initiative to encourage the less privileged in the society, especially at a time that Nigerians are passing through several challenges.
