Speaking at the breakfast meeting to unveil the recipients, Ighodalo said that Project 40at40 aims to ease the burden of couples who are financially challenged but in need of assisted reproduction.

He said that over 1,500 applications were received and confirmed the need for urgent intervention.

According to Ighodalo, “This is what prompted Ibidunni to set up this foundation; the large number of people going through fertility-related challenges and the fact that the treatments are usually in the millions which many cannot afford.”

He thanked individuals and organisations who donated to the cause saying that the initiative would not have been realised without their support.

The Ibidunni Ighodalo Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation set up to raise awareness about infertility.

It also seeks to provide grants to enable married couples access to In-Vitro Fertilisation and Intra-uterine Insemination.

In addition, the foundation gives spiritual and psychological support to those dealing with the social pressures arising from childlessness.

The Chairman of the foundation said that it will be working on the project with 6 fertility clinics.
