The wife of Ondo State Governor, Arabinrin Betty Anyanwu-Akeredolu, has donated cash and food items to three Non- governmental Organisations NGO to enhance their service delivery to humanity in the state.
The NGOs are Hope Orphanage, Emmanuel World Children’s Foundation, and Breast Cancer Association of Nigeria (BRECAN).
Anyanwu-Akeredolu made the donation at the Foundation for Wives of Ondo State Officials (FOWOSO) post-summit review meeting held at the Government House in Akure.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu, who donated the funds and food items on behalf of FOWOSO, said that the gesture was to further support the NGOs to carry out their responsibilities.
Mrs Akeredolu, explained that Hope Orphanage and Emmanuel World Children’s Foundation were among the awardees in the just-concluded FOWOSO Summit held in the state, saying that the financial backing was for them to continue.
“We found out that we should back it up with some funds to assist them because their own is labor of love, nobody is asking them to do it,” she said.
Anyanwu-Akeredolu, the founder of FOWOSO, described BRECAN as a reliable partner with FOWOSO, saying that the fund was to assist the patient support program under the association.
According to her, this is to help women with cancer coming for assistance and it will go a long way in supporting their treatment
