Besides the expectant mothers/Ladies where most lacked resources to acquire some of the key items required in the process of deliveries i.e. “Mama Kits” among others. The members felt it healthy and brilliant if we rendered a hand onto this issue since the facility does not only support a few individuals but the community as a whole. Members through the Club began lobbying for at least a solar panel and also acquisition of Mama Kits for expectant mothers. Several offices, organizations, institutions and individuals were approached. A few positively complied via issuing out material support towards this noble course. Foundation for Christ Ministries played a key role too where most of its members positively bought the idea and chipped in. Four boxes of Mama Kits each containing 40 kit were acquired together with two (02) solar panels and 18 bulbs were realized.
