In a heartwarming display of compassion and empowerment, Waterlight Save Initiative launched a transformative outreach program to honor the tireless women who sweep the streets of Lagos State. These women, often working behind the scenes, play a crucial role in maintaining cleaner environments for millions of residents but are frequently overlooked and underappreciated.

Dr. Prince Ero Ibhafidon, the President and Founder of Waterlight Save Initiative, addressed the attendees at the event, underscoring the importance of the initiative. “These women are the unsung heroes of our cities. They represent resilience, dedication, and the relentless spirit of survival. Yet, many endure harsh conditions with limited access to healthcare and little recognition for their sacrifices,” he remarked.

The outreach program is designed to provide the street sweepers with essential items, healthcare support, and empowerment opportunities aimed at improving their quality of life and that of their families. It also provides a platform for these women to share their challenges and collaborate on sustainable solutions, giving them a voice in the ongoing conversation about environmental cleanliness and social justice.

“At Waterlight Save Initiative, we believe in justice, equity, and a society where no one is left behind. This outreach is not just about providing support; it’s about affirming the dignity and value of every individual,” Dr. Ibhafidon emphasized.

The initiative is aligned with Waterlight Save’s broader mission of alleviating poverty, improving healthcare access, and fostering community resilience. Dr. Ibhafidon also called on individuals, businesses, and the government to unite in creating a society that values all contributions and provides opportunities for everyone to thrive.

The event served as a powerful reminder that small acts of kindness can lead to meaningful societal change. As the initiative continues, it is expected to bring hope, dignity, and empowerment to the street sweepers of Lagos, while inspiring similar efforts across the country.
