A non-governmental organisation, FOOSTODEY, has donated N5 million to the You Matter Charity Foundation, a non-profit led by Mrs. Tobore Oborevwori, the wife of the Delta State Governor.
The presentation took place on Friday in Asaba, where FOOSTODEY’s National President, Mr. Elvis Ahior, handed over the cheque to Mrs. Oborevwori.
Speaking at the event, Ahior praised the foundation for its efforts in supporting vulnerable groups through initiatives like educational scholarships, healthcare programs, and empowerment projects.
He explained that the donation was made to help the foundation continue its mission of improving the lives of underprivileged residents in Delta State.
“This support reflects our belief in the foundation’s impact and our shared goal of building a stronger, more caring society,” Ahior said.
“Our decision to support the foundation is driven by a shared vision to create a better society.
“At FOOSTODEY, we believe in using our success to uplift others, and we are proud to partner with a foundation that delivers real impact,’’ he said.
Ahior highlighted the foundation’s significant impacts in promoting access to healthcare, advocating for children’s education, empowering women, and addressing gender-based violence and drug abuse in the state.
Responding, Mrs Oborevwori expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the donation, saying, “the foundation continues to thrive because God is with us, and we are making tremendous progress.”
She commended FOOSTODEY’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and their partnership in creating a more compassionate and inclusive Delta.
Also, Mr Reuben Izeze, the organisation’s International coordinator, reaffirmed the commitment to support widows through the foundation.
He revealed plans to build residential homes for selected widows in state, citing a previous example of building a house for the mother of the late National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) President, Moses Oisakede.
“We intend by God’s Grace to actualise a housing programme similar to what we did for the mother of the late NANS president,” Izeze said, highlighting the organisation’s mission rooted in unity and empathy.
The partnership between FOOSTODEY and the You Matter Charity Foundation aimed at providing safe, comfortable and dignified housing for widows in selected communities.
