HAF President Anegbode Odion said, “What we do is charity, charity, charity. We offer scholarships to vulnerable children and organise yearly medical outreaches like this one to help communities that need them the most.” He added that the organisation follows up on serious cases after each outreach and sometimes sponsors treatment or surgery.

The Head of Medical Team at HAF, Dr. Gerald Chinaza, explained that their services include medical consultation, health checks, and distribution of drugs. “We also hand out free glasses when needed. It’s more than healthcare; it’s humanitarian work,” he said.

Beneficiaries praised the sponsors, with one saying, “I have not been feeling well for weeks. I was treated today, and I got drugs for both the malaria and the pain. I am really thankful because I couldn’t afford to go to the hospital.” The Balogun of Ogombo Kingdom, Chief Samiliu Arebishola, also expressed gratitude, saying, “This outreach is timely and thoughtful. I received treatment for malaria and was also given new glasses after an eye test. The people of Ogombo are grateful.”

HAF is seeking collaborations with individuals and government partnerships to scale up operations and impact more lives. Odion pleaded, “We are actively looking for sponsors and partners to help us reach more communities. The needs are many, and we are committed to doing more
