In a heartwarming turn of events, the Oroki Crystals Club has empowered Omoriyeba, a woman who has long struggled to feed herself and her family by begging, with a substantial donation of N237,000.

The presentation of this life-changing support took place today in Iragbiji at the shop newly procured by the club for the woman, and was led by several prominent members of the club.


The dummy cheque was formally handed over by members of the club led by Alhaji Bello Muideen (President), Lekan Komolafe(Social Secretary), and members, Moshood Akande and Biodun Ajayi.

The gesture comes after the club issued a public appeal for financial assistance on behalf of Omoriyeba, who had been making daily trips from her hometown of Iragbiji to Osogbo to beg for alms at a popular food canteen.

Her touching story of resilience and hope resonated deeply with many, inspiring the club to take decisive action.

During the presentation, Alhaji Muideen Bello, the club’s president, expressed his gratitude to all those who contributed to making this empowerment possible.

He reiterated the club's commitment to community welfare and emphasized the transformative power of collective effort in addressing poverty.

"Today, we are not just giving Mrs Omoriyeba financial assistance; we are giving her hope and a chance at a better future. We believe that with this support, she can start her own business and break free from the cycle of poverty that has held her back for so long," said Bello.

Omoriyeba, overwhelmed with emotion, shared her plans to start a small business selling foodstuffs, a dream she has held onto with unwavering determination. "I am incredibly grateful to the Oroki Crystals Club and everyone who contributed. This support means everything to me and my family. I now have the opportunity to work hard and build a stable future for us," she said.

Crystal Lekan Komolafe, the social secretary of the club, highlighted the significance of such initiatives in uplifting individuals and communities.

"Empowering one person can have a ripple effect on the entire community. By helping her, we are also investing in the future of her children and contributing to the overall well-being of our society," Komolafe remarked.

Members Crystal Moshood Akande and Crystal Biodun Ajayi echoed these sentiments, urging other organizations and individuals to follow suit and support similar causes.

"This is a clear example of how small contributions from many can lead to significant change. We encourage others to join us in making a difference," they said.
