Omepuruchukwu Charity Foundation has again splashed one million Naira on elderly persons in the four quarters of Nnewi.
In the package a total number of forty beneficiaries from the industrial town got twenty thousand Naira each, with Otolo, Uruagu, Umudim and Nnewichi produced ten beneficiaries each.
The annual support program for the elderly which has been on for a while was sponsored by Mr Izunna Chukwuma who is a frontline member of Omepuruchukwu Charity foundation.
Mr Chukwuma while speaking on the intervention said that it is imperative for the affluent individuals to use their wealth to positively impact the society especially the elderly who are old and fragile.
“It’s nice to acquire landed properties, exotic cars, make mouth watering Investments, build mansions, but the most important thing is the number of people who benefits from the accumulated wealth.
“For me, being rich is by the grace of God, it’s neither by power nor wisdom, every rich person should know that riches come from God, giving to the elderly is my own way of thanking God for His grace and mercies on me.” He said.
Mr Chukwuma paid a glowing tribute to the Founder and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Omepuruchukwu Charity Foundation, Chief Nicholas Echezona Nsoedo’s philanthropy which he noted started long time ago when he was in South Africa.
A beneficiary of the gesture for the elderly, Mrs Grace Maduka thanked and prayed for Mr Chukwuma and CEO of Omepuruchukwu Charity foundation.
