Glo empowers Delta women
Glo Foundation, the corporate social responsibility arm of telecoms operator Globacom, on Saturday distributed food packs and household essentials to thousands of women across Delta State as part of its “Giving Back Together” initiative. The event, held at Urhobo College in Warri, brought together women from Warri North, Warri South, Aladja, Ughelli South, Udu and Uvwie.
Beneficiaries included widows, elderly women and other vulnerable groups, who lauded the company’s humanitarian support amid rising economic pressures.Each food pack contained staples such as five kilogrammes of rice, five kilogrammes of garri, semolina, spaghetti, vegetable oil, tomato paste, sardines, seasoning cubes and noodles.Head of Corporate Social Responsibility at Globacom, Jumobi Mofe-Damijo, said the outreach followed similar food drives in other states.“
The Food Drive is not just for anyone. It is targeted at the most vulnerable segment of Nigerian society, that is, women and children. When we help them, we are helping the society at large,” she said.Beneficiaries expressed their appreciation. Princess Omo-Udoyo, from Ughelli North, said, “I have not seen this before. I thank God and the Glo Foundation for this gift.” Mrs. Esther Okoro, a native of Otu Jeremi in Ughelli South, prayed for the company’s continued growth: “God will lift the company and people who have done this. They will never lack anything.”
Globacom said the initiative will extend to other major cities in the months ahead to support more women across Nigeria.
