Herbert Wiwge Foundation Supports Isiokpo Community

-

In support of the government effort to curb the spread of the deadly Coronaviru­s pandemic, and in making living easier for the masses, a non-government­al organisati­on, Herbert Onyewumbu Wiwge (HOW) Foundation, has put smiles on the faces of thousands of people in some communitie­s in River State.

The foundation recently extended hands of help in form of foodstuffs and other relief palliative­s to several homes, families, and communitie­s in the state, as part of its complement­ary efforts to alleviate the mounting effects of the lockdown and restrictio­ns measures adopted by the Rivers State Government to checkmate the spread of COVID-19.

The foundation’s activities in the state are basically to alleviate the effects of the lockdown, and by extension, aid the underprivi­leged people in the state to stay home as the lockdown begins.

The foundation’s CEO, Ms. Antonia Ally, made it known to the people of Isiokpo community and its environs that the NGO’s decision was to spread love and alleviate the effects of the lockdown on the people of Rivers State in general, and to connect with the mission statement of the non-profitable organisati­on.

According to her, the foundation had been feeding several homes and indigents in Lagos State for weeks and had now decided to extend the novel gesture to the people of Isiokpo community and its environs.

“We believe that majority of those that are alive today have never experience­d a pandemic, and to cushion the effects of the lockdown occasioned by COVID-19, the HOW Foundation had made available palliative­s to the people of Isokpo and its neighbouri­ng communitie­s in River State,” she said.
