that he lost his entire family in the holocaust and was later taken and brought
up by a motherless baby’s home.
He said his experience while
growing up made him determined to make sometime out of his life and this has
contributed to his success story.
Expressing his concern, love and
care for the less privileged, Fuchs said the donation of five million naira to
five homes for the less privileged (one million each) was for the up keep of
the less privileged children and development of these foundations.
The beneficiaries of LCM donation
were Lady Atinuke Oyindamola Memorial Home, Oyiza Home of Love, Special
Correctional Centre for Boys, K. Olubukola Fowowe Centre for Children and
Correctional Centre for Boys.
While giving a brief on the
origin and achievements of Oyiza Orphanage and Foster Foundation, the Matron of
the Foundation, Mrs. Joy Taiwo disclosed that the foundation was founded by her
mother who later died at the age of 45. Due to her passion for her mother’s
deeds she took up the running of the foundation at the age of 22. She strived
so hard to continue the running of the foundation since then through the
support of her brother also.
She stated that they currently
have over 40 children who are orphans or less privileged being taken care of
and sponsored in schools ranging from primary to tertiary institutions. “These
Children are being taken care of and they are doing well” she added.
Similarly, Mrs. Elsie Rose
Akerele the Managing Director of Lady Atinuke Oyindamola Memorial Home said she
got the vision to start her memorial home when her daughter died during her
second delivery. She said her daughter developed a brain disease when the baby
was seven months old after falling from the fourth floor of a building who was
suffering from a brain disease after she fell from the fourth floor.
According to her “My
daughter’s health issue became worse when she got late to her examination
centre and the gateman refused her in. She fell on the ground and that was the
beginning of Epilepsy. We rushed her to the hospital and we were told the fall
she had earlier during childhood had led to her present situation. We managed
her until she finally died during her second child delivery”.
The other three beneficiaries of
the donation, Special Correctional Centre for Boys, K. Olubukola Fowowe Centre
for Children, and Correctional Centre for Boys were said to be owned by the
Lagos State Government. The K. Olubukola Fowowe Centre for Children was said to
be donated to the Lagos State Government by a couple after one of them died
having no child. These three Centers were said to have been up to task in
taking care of the less privileged and re-socializing way-ward children through
the process of home tracing, formal education and proper social orientation
which is properly guided in the confines of the Child Right Law 2015.
The Foundations however
commended the entire management of Lagos Channel Management Ltd for their
philanthropic act of love and kindness toward the less privileged children.
They also solicited for the support of other companies so as to aid their
efforts in taking care of these children to enhance the development of the
society and the nation at large.
