With 2500 YOU CANMAKE A CHILD SMILE THIS CHRISTMAS

Golden Hearts Touching Lives Initiative (GHTLI) is a registered NGO that started in 2008. It is run by a diverse group of well-meaning Nigerians who feel that the disconnection between the well-to-do and the have-nots in the society can be addressed through individuals, corporate organizations and the Government. All members are successful in their various professions/ occupations and no member draws a salary from the initiative. Rather, most of our projects are funded by Golden Hearts members.

Our focus is to touch lives by providing for the less privileged, physically challenged and intellectually challenged children. However, Golden Hearts may also provide aid from time to time in areas of support to orphanages, the under-privileged and destitute, sponsorship of awareness programmes on special needs and conditions in children and sponsorship of training programmes for teachers and careers of the physically and intellectually challenged.  

We also provide public health care services for the poor especially where through ignorance, suspicion or superstition, the community shuns the available services and also to advocate for the well-being and care of the challenged in our society. We work with the authorities to adopt policies that protect the rights, well-being and welfare of the challenged in our society.

During our outreaches, we undertake free eye examinations with free prescription frames and lenses  (courtesy of Ultimate eye clinic), Dental screening (courtesy Lagos State Ministry of Health), HIV/AIDS Tests and counseling (Courtesy NIMR), different  Medical checkups and treatment for common ailments like malaria, colds; Blood pressure Monitoring and Sugar level Monitoring, distribution of insecticide treated nets. Distribution of food packs (courtesy Meals on wheels) and Public Information Materials on identified relevant areas, Emergency Medical Interventions and so much more.

The Initiative has adopted and supported the Ojuwoye Inclusive Unit – A School for children with disabilities since 2009. Since then, we have visited them yearly, met some of their needs and given these children free lunch every day. Recently, we also adopted Centre for Destitute Empowerment Idimu an orphanage home with over 50 children with various disabilities, we support them on yearly basis in the payment of school fees.

 We have also made it a yearly tradition to celebrate Christmas with these special children, giving them a befitting party, “Golden Santa Claus”, food, goodie bags and so much love.
