Abia First Lady Supports Orphanages With Cash, Bags Of Rice

The wife of the Abia state governor, Mrs. Priscilla Otti, in a gesture aimed at uplifting vulnerable communities in Abia State, has extended her benevolence to six orphanages and destitute homes in Aba and Umuahia.

The initiative involved cash donations of โ‚ฆ6m, with each home receiving โ‚ฆ1m in addition to over 30 50kg bags of rice, assorted food supplies, and essential toiletries. Caregivers were also recognized, with cash gifts ranging from โ‚ฆ100,000 to โ‚ฆ150,000 given to appreciate their dedication to the care of vulnerable children and individuals.

Among the beneficiaries were Ahiaeke Motherless Babies Home, Agape Charity Home, So-Said Charity Homes, St. Vincent De Paul Center for Mentally and Physically Challenged Persons, Ngwa Road Motherless Babies Home, and SDA Motherless Babies Home.

Representing Mrs. Otti during the outreach on Saturday, the wife of the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Adaeze Emetu, reiterated the administrationโ€™s commitment to prioritizing the welfare of the less privileged.

โ€œThis initiative demonstrates the unwavering dedication of the current administration to uplifting the vulnerable and ensuring their well-being remains a priority,โ€ she stated.

The event also featured the presence of Mrs. Maureen Aghukwa, Commissioner for Women Affairs, and Mrs. Ifeoma Thomas, Special Assistant to the Governor on Poverty Alleviation and Vulnerable Groups. Both commended Mrs. Otti for her impactful efforts and applauded the caregivers for their selfless service to humanity.

Leaders of the benefitting homes, including Rev. Sister Maria Anita Ogbonna of Ahiaeke Motherless Babies Home and Madam Oyibo Okonkwo of Agape Charity Home, expressed profound gratitude to Mrs. Otti and Governor Alex Otti. โ€œWe are grateful for their compassion and commitment to our welfare,โ€ they noted, offering prayers for wisdom and blessings upon the first family.

Notably, this gesture is not an isolated one, as earlier in the year, Mrs. Otti personally visited Susana Homes in Ukwa East, where she donated โ‚ฆ1m alongside food items and other essentials as well.
