The event was well packaged with the cooperation of various parties involved especially Lagos State Government, Ministry of Education, District 1 Agege. The school selected for this program is Ifako-ijaiye Comprehensive Senior High School, College Road Ifako-ijaiye Lagos.

Also, the staff of the school could not hide their joy to witness such an interesting day.
The program was the initiative of Passionate Humanitarian Foundation which a foremost Non Governmental Organization established to extend care and provision towards the girl child, Aged and Orphan in the society. The situation of the countries in the sub Saharan Africa are quite challenging and only government could not be left alone to tackle all. In whatever capacity individuals, institutions and corporate organisations can do to ameliorate the tough conditions should be done.
It is said that what a man can do a woman can also do and better. The brain behind this awesome humanitarian gesture praised for the laudable project of this type and season where many seem to be selfish and enrich only their pockets but in her case chose to be kind to less privileged in the society.
This is is the second project executed since the birth of PHF. The debut was carried out at WINISEPH CARE HOME, a home for the Aged at Omole Estate, Ojodu Ikeja on May 1st 2023. This is coming barely two months after the first one.
