Award winning Christian singer and
Humanitarian, Nikki Laoye has kicked off a fundraising campaign tagged "The
#BuyACane Project", aimed at raising funds to purchase white guide canes, used
as mobility aids for visually impaired persons.
The project is an ongoing initiative
under her Angel 4 Life Foundation; and since 2012, has been in support of the International
White Cane Day which holds on the 15th Of October, every year.
This is a special day celebrated
across the globe to support and encourage the achievements of visually impaired
persons.
This year's edition is at hand with
the theme "Keeping the Blind Moving" and will hold at Excellence
Hotel in Ogba, organised by Nigeria Association of the Blind (Lagos Chapter) .
Nikki Laoye, who has an adopted
blind brother herself, seeks the donation and support of the public in buying
ONE white guide cane or more, at 3,500 naira each.
These canes are not readily
available in Nigeria and most impaired persons can't afford them therefore your
donation will help to purchase these canes and further support their
independence.
To be a part of this initiative, simply
make your donation payable with the tag "Buy A Cane" to:
