The wife of the Anambra State governor, Nonye Soludo, has visited a 13-year-old girl receiving treatment for advanced HIV disease at a hospital in Awka, donating relief materials, essential supplies and financial support to aid the teenager’s recovery.
Mrs Soludo, founder of the NGO Healthy Living with Nonye Soludo, said the intervention forms part of efforts to support vulnerable people across communities in the state.
According to a statement released on Friday, a team from the NGO visited the teenager during her treatment and provided food items, welfare materials and financial assistance to help improve her nutrition and daily care.
She also called for greater compassion and support for less-privileged Nigerians, particularly children battling serious illnesses in hospitals.
“No child should face such a difficult health battle without support. We remain dedicated to showing up for those who need us most,” Mrs Soludo said.
She added that citizens must work together to build “healthier, stronger communities” by extending love, kindness and care to vulnerable people.
“As part of our commitment to supporting the most vulnerable in our communities, we also donated essential supplies to aid her nutrition and daily upkeep, along with financial support to help her recovery journey,” she said.
The Anambra first lady also thanked the Anambra State AIDS Control Agency for bringing the case to the attention of her NGO.
She stressed that people living with health challenges and vulnerable children should not feel abandoned, urging Nigerians to provide reassurance and support to those in need.
