The foundation also distributed 100 cartons of food items, consisting of rice, oil, and tomato paste, to the new mothers.
Mrs Danu said her own maternal experience was the driving force of the philanthropic gesture. “I am a mother and I have kids, so that is more reason why I wanted to come here and help my fellow women and their kids as well,” she said.
The women beneficiaries expressed their gratitude to the foundation for the items they received.
“It’s much, we are not expecting this kind of gift, but we are grateful”, Miracle Ramiah, a postpartum mother, said.
Having given birth to preterm twins, Patience Abba described her emergency hospital admission.
Mrs Abba lauded the hospital’s immediate response but also acknowledged the challenges brought on by economic hardship, making the donations a welcome relief.
“The hardship and how to cope in the hospital is indeed stressful. We thank God for this kind of organisation, they make us smile every time feeling that we can still come out of it.”

He expressed gratitude to the NHD Foundation. While urging them to continue their humanitarian services, Mr Olatunbosun said the facility needs vocational skills items for its inmates.
