Hope Builders Foundation (HBF), a non-governmental organisation (NGO) on Wednesday 29th April 2020 donated COVID-19 relief materials to residents of Abesan Estate, Ipaja, Alimosho, Lagos. 

Donating the materials at the secretariat of Abesan Estate Residents' Association (AERA) in Abesan, the Executive Director of the Foundation, Mrs. Folayemisi Adu who was accompanied by her husband and Co-Director of the Foundation, Dr. Oluwatosin Adu, an Associate professor of Nutritional Biochemistry at the Lagos State University, Ojo thanked the association for having the interest of residents at heart and promised to do more when resources are available.

Receiving the donation on behalf of residents of the Estate, the president of AERA, Elder M.A.O Kehinde appreciated the Executive Director and her team for reaching out to residents of Abesan. He prayed for the organisation and noted that the act of kindness will go a long way to ameliorate the hardship of the people who have had to stay indoors due to the effect of lockdown caused by COVID-19.

Mrs. Ogun, a resident and chairman of sector 19 in Abesan, thanked the organisation on behalf of the recipients. She noted that though they appreciate the gesture of the NGO, like Oliver Twist, the residents won't mind having more because of the effect of the stay at home on the economy of the Estate.
