By PAULINA NZERUBE
DEACONESS Tobore Oborevwori, Delta State First Lady, has extended financial and material assistance to 430 indigent women through her You Matter Charity Foundation.
The empowerment exercise, held on Monday in Asaba, forms part of efforts to improve the welfare of vulnerable families and create opportunities for women to earn sustainable incomes.
The beneficiaries received different forms of support according to the programme’s distribution arrangements. While 130 women received commercial grinding machines to support small-scale businesses, 150 others received cash grants. An additional 150 women benefited from bags of rice and other essential food items.
Addressing the beneficiaries, Oborevwori encouraged recipients of the grinding machines to put the equipment to productive use. She cautioned them against selling the machines, stressing that the initiative was intended to help them generate income and support their households.
The First Lady said empowering women remained an important part of her commitment to improving livelihoods across Delta State. According to her, stronger economic opportunities for women can also improve the welfare of their families.
She further pledged that the You Matter Charity Foundation would sustain its efforts to identify and assist underprivileged women across the state.
Several beneficiaries welcomed the gesture and thanked the First Lady for the assistance. They expressed confidence that the cash grants, business equipment and food supplies would help reduce their financial burdens and provide relief for their households.
