As an individual born in India with Nigerian heritage(Citizen of India), I am following in the footsteps of my late father by venturing into the field of Social Welfare and Development. I am on the board of an NGO called SUMANA, in the capacity of a Vice President. SUMANA is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the welfare of women and children, and I am proud to have served as a board member for the past five years. Committed to creating positive social impact, SUMANA focuses on empowering women and ensuring the well-being of children in diverse communities. The organization is operational in rural Mysuru. SUMANA operates with a holistic approach, addressing various aspects of women's and children's lives, including education, healthcare, and socio-economic development.
