There are several registered charities funded and founded on the basis for assisting those in need. However, many organisations with such strategic objectives and mission statement end up taking money from people without putting them into beneficial service and most times for their own selfish-interest and satisfaction of bloated egos.
It is the heart and conscience that truly matters on a Saturday morning. Where an individual takes up the initiative turning little drops into a pool of funds one has been able to commit to changing lives profoundly. It is not the funds that count here but the heart, the desire and commitment to spend time with strangers who gradually become part of one’s family.
Just take a look at the below images of people who need true love, care, shelter and family.
I Met with Tonye Cole, Managing Director of Sahara Energy Group and wife Dr Cole Sylvia who with just a heart to do some good have transformed the lives of so many termed by society as “hopeless”, “useless” and a “burden”.
What Drives your kindness to the needy?
It is unbelievable how a life lived with such conditions can be profoundly hindered by a society that equates any form of disability to demonic attacks, shame/disgrace to the family and a sense of burden and inconvenience to relatives and even the general population.
As a result of the funding gathered, we have been able to expand the areas of intervention to include the following items listed in below table. In all cases, the beneficiaries are extremely poor and unable to fund necessary operations.

A Miracle Transformation
"Many complain of lack, but with the little they have they cannot give".
The Images above are more than enough to convince anyone to make compulsory contributions.
"The greatest fulfilment anyone can receive out of life comes from the passion of touching and transforming lives".
"Until one reaches, the top of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of need where one help others to self-actualize one has only just started out in life".
"Let us show love whilst we still have the opportunity to do so".
"One can see it is a “miracle transformation”.Thank you for your help to Lagos Cheshire Home for the Disabled, may God bless you all.
