The wife of the Delta State Governor, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, has empowered 430 indigent women across the state with grinding machines, cash grants and food items to support their livelihoods
The beneficiaries received the items on Monday in Asaba during a distribution ceremony organised by the You Matter Charity Foundation, founded by the governor’s wife.
Speaking at the event, Oborevwori said supporting vulnerable families and strengthening women-led small businesses remained part of her commitment to easing economic hardship in communities across the state.
Under the intervention, 130 women received commercial grinding machines to enable them to establish small businesses, while 150 beneficiaries received cash grants.
Another 150 women received food items, including bags of rice and garri.
Addressing the beneficiaries, the governor’s wife advised them against selling the empowerment items, urging those who received grinding machines to use them to establish sustainable sources of income for their households.
She said empowering women had a wider impact on family welfare and reaffirmed the foundation’s commitment to identifying and supporting underprivileged women across Delta State.
The beneficiaries expressed appreciation to Oborevwori for the assistance, saying the equipment and financial support would help improve their livelihoods and household welfare.
