Award winning singer and Humanitarian, Nikki Laoye has
kicked off the 2014 fundraising campaign tagged "The #BuyACane
Project", aimed at raising funds to purchase white guide canes, which are
mobility aids for blind and visually impaired persons.
The project is an ongoing initiative under her foundation,
Angel 4 Life Foundation founded in 2012 in support of the International White
Cane Day which holds on the 15th of October of every year.
This year's edition theme, "Keeping the Blind
Moving" will hold at Excellence Hotel in Ogba, organised by Nigeria
Association of the Blind (Lagos Chapter) .
Nikki Laoye, who has an adopted blind brother herself, seeks
the donation and support of the public in buying ONE white guide cane or more,
at 3,500 naira each.
These canes are not readily available in Nigeria and most
impaired persons can't afford them therefore your donation will help to
purchase these canes and further support their independence.
