As the world commemorate the 2024 edition of the "World Refugee Day" on June 20th, 2024.
Queen Halimat Adenike Tejiusho, the CEO/Founder of the renowned international Humanitarian and philanthropic foundation Queen Halimat Tejousho Foundation (QATF) has joined the National Commission of Persons with Disabilities (NCPWD), United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), World Health Organization (WHO), and other development partners in commemorating and observing World Refugee Day 2024.
In line with this year's theme, "Solidarity with Refugees", which seeks to emphasizes the importance of building inclusive health systems and ensuring equitable care for refugees worldwide. Tejousho emphasize her foundation's commitment and ever ready posture towards alleviating the sufferings of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in Nigeria.
In the past few years, Tejousho has through her humanitarian foundation touched the lives of many IDPs and other vulnerable groups in the society from different parts of Nigeria, empowering them with assorted relief materials ranging from mattresses, medication, blankets, food items and cash to help them purchase some essential goodies.
The kindhearted Tejousho's humanitarian gesture towards the IDPs also extend to supporting their children education from primary to post primary levels.
Tejousho didn't just stop there, she had fought galantly to advocates for their health rights, and strives to create a world where everyone, regardless of migratory status, enjoys universal access to quality health care.
In December 25th 2023 at Durumi IDP Camp Abuja, the renowned philanthropist was delight of everyone as she donated assorted sorts of relief materials such as meidicines, food, matresses, educational materials, cash etc to IDP tenants.
An IDP tenant identified as Mr Kingsley who could not hide his admiration to kindhearted Tejousho expressed immense gratitude to God for sending a messenger in person of Dr. Halimat Adenike Tejousho to provide secure to the tenants.
He said, " we are extremely grateful to God for sending us such a kindhearted mother to alleviate our sufferings "
" Before you come here our camp has been deserted, only members of catholic church came to us from time to time"
"We appreciate you greatly for this kind gesture towards us and pray God to bless you" Mr.Kingsley noted.
To the delight of millons of Nigerians, recently Dr. Tejousho provided a brand new wheelchair to a physically challenged IDP member living in IDP Camp Gudu, and put his children in school.
Tejousho has a firm belief that displaced individuals are not to be merely taken as recipients of charity but are also active contributors to societal development who can serve as skilled health care professionals, cultural mediators, and advocates for equitable access.
To this end, she had consistently made IDP camps across the country her second home which is the reason she has been seeing roaming halter skelter from one IDP camp to another providing solid support for the IDPs in line with President Tinubu's Renewed Hope Agenda and the UN's urgent need for global solidarity to the IDPs.
May God crown her efforts and reward her richly, amen
