This initiative focuses on the distribution of basic food items such as bags of rice, bags of wheat, bags of semovita, bags of beans and bags of garri amongst other things to more than Three thousand (3,000) indigent senior citizens and physically challenged across the Six (6) Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Ekiti South Senatorial District of the state. In addition to the food items, each of these senior citizens were given cash gift to help cater to their immediate needs. The beneficiaries of this initiative were selected by traditional and community leaders within the local government, community, or ward in question. The beneficiaries were particularly selected by the community leaders who are attuned with the citizenry and can easily identify the underprivileged within the community. The impact of this initiative cannot be overemphasized, as the elderly recipients were not only glad to be recognized and assisted but also given new lease of life. On the underlisted days, the Senior Citizens Empowerment Program of the MKD Araoye Foundation were carried out in the Six (6) Local Government Areas which makes up the Ekiti South Senatorial District.
