We conducted 112 divination sessions at no charge to the recipient due to financial need or some other necessity.
- $4,221 spent. In 2024, the Ile provided $4,221 in benevolence support to individuals who demonstrated financial need. These funds were used for rent support, food, transportation, and other essential needs as part of our charitable and religious mission to uplift the underserved and economically disadvantaged.
- $1,620 spent. Holiday Gift Assistance for Children: In December 2024, our organization launched a Holiday Gift Assistance Program to serve underprivileged familiars and children experiencing hardship during the holiday season. Through internal benevolence funding, we purchased and disbursed Christmas gifts (including toys, books, and educational items) to children whose families were identified as facing economic challenges. The program served 27 families with 59 children ranging in age from newborn to teens. Referrals came from community leaders and temple volunteers who helped verify need and coordinate gift distribution respectfully and discreetly. This initiative aligns with our broader religious and charitable mission of uplifting the spiritual and emotion well-being of the community, especially during significant cultural and religious observances. The gifts not only met material needs but also restored a sense of dignity, joy, and hope to families during the holiday season.
