The spread of the coronavirus (COVID-19) is a serious threat to humanity. This pandemic has changed our everyday life as we know it, bringing social and economic difficulties for everyone across the globe.

On March 29th, 2020 the Federal Government of Nigeria announced a 14 days lockdown for some states. This lockdown though very vital has affected the livelihood of most people across the globe.

Thus, we were pleased to partner with The VESTAL  EGBUKOLE FOUNDATION in their Relief Scheme initiative to provide financial assistance to the less privileged women who are unable to afford the basic amenities at this time

On Wednesday, April 8th, 2020, 100 women across Egbu Autonomous Community, comprising 5 each from the 20 Kindreds were given N5,000 each. This relief scheme is aimed at the very poor in the communities who are worse hit as their daily livelihood has been halted due to the lockdown.

At this time our sympathies are with everyone that has been affected directly and indirectly by the outbreak and we wish them well. Our thanks and prayers go out to all healthcare workers, local and international agencies and governments across the globe, who work tirelessly, with some putting their lives at risk, to contain the virus.

This is a defining period for humanity we need to be brave, supportive, and cooperative to overcome this Pandemic (COVID-19). Now more than ever, we need to be each other’s keeper by observing the best hygiene and complying with the local and international health authorities’ guidelines.

Surely we will get through this, by God’s grace.
