Rubies Ink Initiative for Women and Children and Women of Rubies made Christmas even more special for 100 senior citizens and vulnerable persons in Alimosho LGA and Makoko community.
This gesture was in line with its Christmas Food Drive Initiative, a project funded through the support of the public.
Rubies Ink has been into advocacy, empowerment, and development projects since 2008, and runs multiple projects, empowerment workshops, trainings, campaigns, media advocacy, and women’s outreach programs centered around domestic violence, gender equality and women’s health.
They also organise the annual Walk against Rape campaign, celebrated over 1000 exceptional women through their womenofrubies platform, and raise funds online for women and children in dire need of medical and other support.
Speaking about the Christmas Food Drive, the founder of Rubies Ink, Esther Ijewere said, “Old age is a blessing, we need to continuously make our seniors feel loved and appreciated.
“The pandemic has taught us to live in the moment and be intentionally kind. That’s one of the reasons we supported our seniors this festive season.”
Fir Ijewere, this initiative is in their bid to spread love and light. “We appreciate our donors for their unwavering and continuous support over the years.”
The Project Coordinator, Michelle Inegbese, describe the project as what they do for love, supporting those in need, and putting smiles on faces. “We hope to do this more often.”
