The 2025 edition of the Arise Walk For Life and Women Conference, organised by Arise Women, an organisation established by Mrs Siju Iluyomade, will commence tomorrow, Saturday, November 1 and close the next day.
The annual programme, in its 17th edition, will attract thousands of participants both physically and online.
The theme for this year is Greatness, Resilience, Innovation and Teamwork (GRIT) and it starts with the usual Arise Walk For Life tomorrow.
This will be used to sensitize the general public on healthy living, awareness of activities of non-profit organizations and also encourage women empowerment.
Participants will walk some kilometres within the Victoria Island, Lagos, and end up with a dance routine featuring gospel artistes, comedians and top celebrities.
On Sunday, the Arise Women Conference will take place at the Oriental Hotels, Lagos. This will be attended by prominent Nigerian women who will deliver speeches on GRIT. Thousands of less privileged persons are also expected to go home with Arise Pink bucket packages that comprise of foodstuffs.
Arise Women was created to cater for the less privileged in the society as well as empower Nigerian women across the country.
Last year, the group gave out over 2,000 Arise Pink Bucket containing foodstuffs to residents of the state, including in Surulere, Mushin, Ojuelegba, Apapa and others.
