Giving back to our society...

Alot of organizations have been springing up, some for popularity purposes, some as "Egunje" as yoruba people will call it and a few because they are genuine; it comes from their hearts, they have a PASSION in wanting to give back to the society!!!!! However, whether they set up organizations for the reasons above, it still boils down to one main fact which is they are reaching out and helping the society. SADD(Student Against Destructive Decision) by the Ayodele Sisters, Catwalk the World Fashion for the Food by Matthew Mensah, Obaro Ibru and Femi Amure, GEDE foundation by Mrs Jennifer Atiku, have really reached out to the Nigerian society and Africa at large.

SADD founded by the Tola and Tobi Ayodele is aimed to provide the students with the best prevention and intervention tools possible to deal with the issues of underage drinking, smoking, other drug use, impaired driving and other destructive decisions, and also to empower young people to live a healthy lifestyle and to make healthy responsible live choices.(http://www.saddnigeria-ng.org/). They are both adorable sisters, hardworking and also very pretty.


CatWALK the World brings together the worlds of fashion and food by organizing high profile fashion shows to create awareness while raising funds to fight child hunger. It was launched in Lagos, Nigeria in April 2006, and was met with extraordinary success. Extravagant, elegant and passionate, Catwalk the World- Nigeria brought the issue of child hunger to the social, cultural, economic, and political elite of Lagos. Their future goal is to cut in half the number of hunger children in the world by 2015.(http://www.fighthunger.org/catwalk), they actually won the Humanitarian award in Paris.
