Help has finally arrived for Risikat Abdulwasiu who was rejected by her husband’s family for having blue eyes.
The Alaafia Kwara Initiative of Her Excellency Toyin Saraki, Founder of the Wellbeing Foundation Africa,
alongside her team of community midwives and women leaders visited Risikat and her children on Saturday 8th August 2020.
Risikat was visibly overjoyed to receive her first high-level visitors.
The team came bearing an empowerment grant of N250,000 from Mrs Saraki.
The grant is aimed as financial support to enable her children’s immediate return to education, and ease her burden of care as she considers her options.
Risikat’s story of matrimonial rejection due to her unique eye coloration had gone viral across Nigeria.
Mrs Saraki stepped in to recognise her predicament, and proffer immediate assistance, given her Foundation’s enduring maternal and child health and welfare programs across the state.
