Not a lot of women are popular for going all out to empower the less privileged.
However, seasoned legal luminary and founder of Arise Women Foundation, Siju Iluyomade is blessed with this virtue.
Over the years, her efforts to empower the less privileged and support the government in every area of endeavours have known no bounds. This has seen her being acclaimed as one of the most outstanding philanthropists among the lots in Nigeria who share the same passion.
In the past 14 years, her foundation has set up facilities and built amenities such as hospitals, school buildings, computerised library, boreholes, and several others in places such as Abuja, Ondo State, Imo State, Kebbi State, and Lagos State.
Also, through her initiative, the Arise Covid-19 Clinic where booster and Covid-19 vaccines are given to people through the support of the Lagos State government was activated, while her branded food basket called ‘Arise Pink Bucket’ often avail beneficiaries food items like rice, tomato paste, and groundnut oil.
Despite a damning economic situation caused by the after-effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, Iluyomade has continued to give her support to individuals from different parts of the country regardless of religion, tribe, and ethnicity.
Asides from what she has done via her foundation, the woman is popular for helping people rekindle their burn-out hope while also building leaders via her Handmaidens Women in Leadership Series (HWILS).
As she celebrates her 58th birthday today, there is no doubt that it will be a windfall of gifts and food items for the less privileged in different parts of the country.
“My dream is to make sure Arise affects every part of human life globally in terms of health, housing, education, empowerment, farming, and many more,” she was recently quoted to have said.
