Okota Medical Outreach - "Connecting Artisans to Wellness"

Lagos traffic no dey tire — but the body can. On Tuesday, December 23, 2025, Hope Rising Initiative (HRI) Global successfully brought wellness directly to the people who keep our communities moving. Through a specialized Wellness Outreach for Mechanics, HRI addressed the critical connection between physical labor and long-term health. The outreach bridged the gap between hard work and well-being by providing health education, basic medical screenings, first aid support, food assistance, and essential medical supplies. Program Highlights Several participants received on-site health checks and immediate care. One individual recorded a critically high blood pressure reading of 220/100 and was promptly given first aid before being referred to a hospital for urgent follow-up care. Many others benefited from preventive health guidance and early detection support, reinforcing the importance of routine health monitoring for artisans. Health remains the greatest tool of every worker — and protecting it is essential to sustaining livelihoods. Through this outreach, HRI reaffirmed its commitment to catalyzing change by supporting the health and dignity of hardworking communities.
