Nigerian Superstar Actress,
Philanthropist & Founder of The Tonto Dikeh Foundation who wowed some times ago to Keep
Nigerians highly entertained using her acting prowess and to also keep back to
the society, to the needy, showing and passing love among the less privileged
hand in hand, passion with passion with great dedication.
Over the years, even before getting married, Tonto Dikeh has been impacting positively into
lives through her Foundation which is a Non Profit- Non Governmental
organization that is focused on advocating for ladies molested via sexual
assaults, rape and lending assistance to the needy. She also focus to help the
nursing mothers making it possible for local and international organizations
like UN women & Commonwealth Nations to access the funding, tools, training
and support they need to become more effective and make our world a better
place.
To young girls Raped
and molested, The Tonto Dikeh Foundation gives hope to the young girls by
providing help to them through partners depending on their individual cases.
They support them during ante natal and post natal period, mentoring these
young women so they can fit into the society again with a new sense of
belonging and giving them a second chance in life to be great. They also help
these young mothers to take care of their kids by placing the kids into special
homes. They support their upkeep, feeding, education and anything a child will
need to become great and most of all they give them shelter.
With all of these as
her philanthropic platforms, Tonto Dikeh-Churchill was hands on deck with her
husband Mr. Churchill as The Big Church
Foundation (Her
husband’s) organized the walk for love event which brought smiles on the faces
of the less privileged. The WALK OF
LOVE held on the
3rd of December 2016 bringing together dignitaries and celebrities from all
around Nigeria to share, interact and give to the handicapped in the Society.
This Act of kindness and love had Eagle Square as the meeting point from where
the walk began to the Millennium Park where it all climaxed with food, gifts,
medical support and so much more for the handicapped in Society.
Mrs. Tonto while
giving her speech on that day, saying;
” I realized the difficulties and challenges that
the physically challenged people at the Karimajiji Village are facing; Poor
Road Networks, Inefficient Electric Power supply, Inadequate Water Supply, Low
Standard Schools & Poor Hygienic environment. I know these people can never
function optimally. It’s disheartening to know that government can neglect a
village where over 2500 physically challenged persons are living in the capital
city of Nigeria (Abuja)”
As tear rolled down in
torrents from her eyes, she pronounced to help them grade their major roads,
pay some students school fees and will regularly pays them a visit to see how
she can help to better their lives and of course to make the place popular for
other noble Nigerians to give aids and better their lives.
She further stressed
that she will immediately deploy all the machineries to make their life better.
The WALK FOR LOVE was
indeed a true illustration of how Society should be and the spirit of the
season. A case where the Rich hug the Poor, the Haves give to the Have-nots and
the Celebrity reaching out to the Isolated in Society. Thumbs up to big hearted
& humble Mrs. Tonto Dike Churchill who served the handicaps herself. Thumbs
up to the foundation Manager, Mr. Bunmi
Fagbuyiro who
coordinated all the activities.
