City People Reporter, Jamiu Abubakar (08085185886) attended the 40th birthday party of a prominent member of the club whose name is Balikis Rabiu, fondly called “Ashani”. The event marked a visitation to a motherless babies’ home in Ikorodu, empowering a number of market women through cash support and distribution of food items to the less privileged members of the public. While engaging with one of the coordinators of the club, Jadesola Abass in a brief chat, she spoke about the club and their activities. She also spoke on why they made it a call to be always benevolent to the less privileged in society. Below are excerpts:
“Golden Standard Ladies Club is all about giving charity to the less privileged in society. Our aim is to develop ourselves spiritually, intellectually and financially, to be a good lady, a good wife and a good mother. We do charity by giving to the motherless babies, old people, the homeless and other less privileged. We always coordinate these 3 times in a year.
“We have been doing all these for close to 2 years now. We are going to clock 2 years, precisely in February next year. One of the criteria to join us is that you must have a large heart and a giving heart. We contribute among ourselves. We have people here in Nigeria, we have people abroad and all over the world. We put a token down and reach out to people that can support us and we go to the society and make use of the money. In addition, we organise seminars for ourselves in order to become better persons.
