About The Sick Pikin ProjectThe Sick Babies Donation project started as a one off activity with the sole aim to raise funds for baby Mustapha. A group of young people came together to champion the process. The team of Young people were drawn from various fields of work, a Clothing Designer, a Journalist, A humanitarian Aid Worker and the mother of baby Mustapha who was also a Development worker started to champion fund raising in January 2018 primarily to raise funds for baby Mustapha so that we can send him to India where his transplant was done. Baby Mustapha was suffering from Biliary Atresia and needed a liver transplant and his mother volunteered to be the donor.
The challenge was heavy we took almost 5 months trying to raise funds and with the intervention of the First Lady – Fatima Bio after we reached out to her to seek her intervention, she became willing and did a 2 minutes video which went viral and at the given time, we had already raised about $10,000 USD. Her video help moved many to donate including sport betting company Mercury international. This climaxed the campaign and we were able to raise the needed funds and Mustapha went for his surgery, which was successful and he returned. |
