Siju Iluyomade Set to Light Up Lagos with 18th Arise Women Programme
When purpose wears the finest cloak of compassion, the gathering it creates is bound to be extraordinary. This is precisely the anticipation building around the 18th edition of Arise Women
In a city known for its vibrant energy, a remarkable event is set to illuminate Lagos with the 18th edition of Arise Women 2026. Founded by the determined and compassionate Dr. Siju Iluyomade, this humanitarian initiative has been consistently turning philanthropy into a powerful movement for nearly two decades. As the grand occasion approaches on October 31 and November 1, 2026, with the theme "IMPACT," the stage is set for an unforgettable two-day extravaganza.
The festivities kick off on October 31 with the Arise Walk for Life, a colorful procession taking over parts of Victoria Island. Participants will march to promote healthy living, wellness, and preventive healthcare. This will be followed by an evening of entertainment featuring gospel artistes, comedians, and celebrities, creating a lively atmosphere for attendees.
The following day, the Arise Women Conference will take center stage at the Oriental Hotel in Victoria Island. Esteemed Nigerian women will share their experiences, perspectives, and insights on making a meaningful impact. While the event promises glitz, glamour, and intellectual stimulation, it is rooted in the heart of Arise Women's humanitarian service.
Thousands of less fortunate individuals are expected to benefit from the Foundation's signature Arise Pink Bucket packages, filled with essential food items for vulnerable households. Additionally, the Arise Women's commitment to healthcare shines through the ARISE Medical Centre in Dafara, Abuja, which provides free medical care, including childbirth services and other vital treatments.
Over the years, Arise Women has made significant contributions to communities through various initiatives, including hospitals, schools, boreholes, mobile clinics, and women empowerment projects.
As the 18th edition of Arise Women draws near, Dr. Iluyomade remains resolute in her mission to demonstrate that true impact goes beyond applause. Instead, it is measured by the lives transformed long after the spotlight fades.
