As so many individuals and families are loosing hope in the midst of lack and hunger ravaging the land, caused by the fuel subsidy removal, a Non-governmental organization, the Eleje Legacy Foundation (ELF), in the spirit of the Yuletide and new year celebrations, has brought back hope in Amikpo Community, Ozizza in Afikpo Local Government Area of Ebonyi State, as it distributed food items, materials and cash worth over Five Million Naira to women in the community.
AJM NEWS gathered that the Eleje Legacy Foundation, which is also a Non-profit making organization, pioneered by the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Dr. Beatrice O. Onyeador, who also sponsored the event, distributed no fewer than 600 (Six Hundred) quality wrappers to Amikpo women in Ozizza, Afikpo LGA.
Other items shared by the NGO to the women to enable them enjoy the Christmas and new year celebrations with their families were;
50 bags of rice,
10 gallons of 25 litres of Oil,
Cartons of Tomato Pastes, Cartons of Maggi cubes, 2 bags of Salt and a live Cow.
The Eleje Legacy Foundation also distributed cash gifts of N100,000 (One Hundred Thousand Naira) each to 20 persons selected from the community, as a means of empowering them in their various businesses; totalling N2,000,000 (Two Million Naira)
The Eleje Legacy Foundation was established in honour of Omeroha Inyang Eleje and Ezinne Beatrice Eleje, the late parents of the great Eleje Family, with the mandate of advocating for the underprivileged women and children, especially the girl child, through the provision of healthcare, food, clothing, shelter, education, legal advocacy, emotional support, as well as provision of platform for women to act as agents of social change through advocacy and capacity building.
It is also worthy of note that the membership of Eleje Legacy Foundation cuts across all the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of Omeroha Inyang Eleje and Ezinne Beatrice Eleje of the blessed memory.
The NGO had in several ways, both recently and in the past, rendered unquantifiable assistance to the less privileged women and families in Amikpo, Ozizza Afikpo Local Government Area.
The beneficiaries in the last programme, whose joy knew no bounds, thanked the Eleje Family immensely for the kind gesture shown to them, as those that received cash gifts also promised to use the money judiciously.
