In March 2024, the Matured Minders Initiative (MMI) once again demonstrated its unwavering commitment to uplifting the less privileged in our society with a memorable visit to Modupe Cole Memorial Orphanage Home in Akoka, Lagos.

As our team arrived at the gates of this haven for children with special needs, we were greeted by the infectious smiles and warm welcome of both the staff and residents.
The air was filled with anticipation and excitement, setting the stage for a day of connection, compassion, and community support.
Our volunteers came prepared with an array of thoughtfully selected gifts, including:
- Essential hygiene products
- Educational materials and books
- Nutritious food items
- Clothing and bedding
- Toys and recreational equipment
But beyond the material donations, MMI members brought something even more valuable – their time, attention, and genuine care for the well-being of these extraordinary children.
Throughout the day, our team engaged in various activities with the residents. From storytelling sessions that transported the children to magical worlds, to art projects that allowed their creativity to flourish, every moment was filled with laughter and joy. The simple act of sitting beside a child, listening to their stories, and offering words of encouragement created connections that will last far beyond this single day.
One of the most touching moments came when Yetunde an MMI volunteer, sat with a young girl who was initially shy and reserved. By the end of their interaction, the child was beaming with confidence, proudly showing off her newly completed drawing. It’s these small victories that remind us of the profound impact a little attention and care can have on a child’s life.
The staff at Modupe Cole Memorial Orphanage Home shared with us the challenges they face in providing comprehensive care for children with special needs. In response, MMI has pledged ongoing support to address some of these challenges, including plans for regular visits and the exploration of long-term solutions to improve the quality of life for the residents.
The director of the orphanage, expressed heartfelt gratitude for MMI’s visit and contributions. “The joy you’ve brought today is immeasurable,” they said. “But even more important is the message you’ve sent to our children – that they are valued, loved, and have a community that cares deeply about their well-being.”
As we departed, the smiles on the faces of the children and the warm embraces from the staff served as powerful reminders of why we do what we do.
The visit to Modupe Cole Memorial Orphanage Home wasn’t just about giving – it was about fostering a sense of belonging, hope, and possibility for every child, regardless of their circumstances.
