As part of an effort to help the less privileged and widows in Nasarawa state, a philanthropist, Mr. Peter Enna, has donated assorted wrappers to 100 widows in Nassarawa-Eggon and Lafia Local Government Areas (LGAs) of Nasarawa State.
Speaking at a ceremony to present the items to the beneficiaries in Lafia, the donor said he has decided to put smiles in the faces of the vulnerable at the beginning of a brand new year.
He also donated Maggi cubes and Salt to all the 100 windows.
He explained that this has been done so many times to give the vulnerable a reason to go on with life.
He added that the support would also go a long way to enable them to look after themselves and the children their deceased husbands left behind.
“This gesture is part of my contribution to give back to the society toward making it conducive for all to live irrespective of financial or social status.
“I started this around 2011, ten years ago when I saw the need to thank God for what he has been doing for me and the entire family by sharing with the needy.
“Our parents give birth to ten of us and we are all alive and our parents are alive as well, so we needed to thank God,” Mr. Enna noted.
He said the entire family had also offered a Thanksgiving at the Church to appreciate God for keeping them alive throughout 2021 to see 2022.
Responding on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Christina Haniba, a widow from the Kagbu community of Nassarawa-Eggon LGA expressed gratitude for the gesture adding that, it would help them greatly.
Mrs. Christiana Haniba added that it means a lot to them to receive such a gesture at the beginning of the year that things are difficult and pray God to bless the donor.
She, therefore, appealed to other spirited individuals to always support the vulnerable, especially widows and orphans to make their lives worthwhile.
