In a bid to alleviate poverty and create means of livelihood for women in Delta State, the Okehebunor Foundation has empowered some women in Ugbolu with cash to either start up small businesses of their own or improve on their businesses and provided educational materials for children in Divine Chamber of God's Assembly, Ugbolu.
The CEO of the Foundation, Mr. Samuel Okehebunor, accompanied by his Technical Consultant, Augusta Keneboh and their team was also at the Okwe Primary Healthcare Centre where the foundation made cash donations to mothers and distributed various baby care items including tissue papers , soap and pampers to the new born babies in the Healthcare Centre.
Recall that the Foundation was at Kingmaker Academy to distribute educational materials to the learners in the school.
Addressing the beneficiaries during the empowerment, Mr. Okehebunor said that the initiative was geared towards enhancing their economic growth.
Okehebunor stated that it was no longer strange that the economy had been biting hard on Nigerians due to the high cost of goods and services, adding that the financial support was aimed at ensuring that the beneficiaries have means of survival and cater for their families.
He told them to make good use of the empowerment by investing it on their businesses, stressing that through proper management of the cash , their businesses would grow much better.
Speaking further, Okehebunor explained that it was part of the core focus of the organization to provide educational materials for children and advised the children to be serious with their studies.
While presenting cash donations to the mothers and toiletries such as soap , tissue papers and pampers to the new born babies at the Okwe Primary Healthcare Centre, Okehebunor underscored the importance of good health and wellbeing of children.
Okehebunor, however, said that the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals advocated access to quality healthcare services and encouraged mothers to always take good care of their babies.
