CAFÉ 5th Anniversary: Osodieme Obiano Thanks Anambra People and Friends

August 14,2019
Share:

The Wife of the Governor of Anambra State, Dr Mrs. Ebelechukwu Obiano popularly known as Osodieme has expressed appreciation to ndi Anambra, friends and well-wishers on the occasion of the fifth Anniversary of her NGO, Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ).

CAFÉ 5th Anniversary: Osodieme Obiano Thanks Anambra People and Friends

In a statement in Awka to mark the fifth anniversary of the NGO, signed on her behalf by the Chief Media Officer, Emeka Ozumba, Osodieme said that CAFÉ was incorporated on August 1, 2014 as a non-governmental, non-partisan organization with a mandate to provide humanitarian and charitable services, but commenced full activities by second week of the month.

The wife of the Governor explained that CAFE was set up in furtherance of her passion to help the needy with a vision to be the beacon of sustainable empowerment for indigent women and widows, youths, the physically challenged and the less privileged.

In her words, “CAFÉ is a product of lifelong habit hence five years of it’s founding as a formal organization almost went unnoticed but for the plaudits we received about the programmes. I want to use this opportunity to thank ndi Anambra and our good friends who have contributed in support of our various programmes. As part of our fifth anniversary, we have intensified campaign to stop the incidence of Sickle Cell Anaemia through Genotype Education and will initiate further intervention on sickle cell soon. Today, I just want to say thanks, but God Almighty who knows the lives many of you helped through us will continue to bless and prosper you.”

As an NGO, CAFE has within the five year span since its establishment lived up to its mandate to touch lives positively by promoting the welfare of the whole family through the propagation of the wellbeing and safety of citizens based on the principles of equity, justice and fairness and fostering of socio-political and economic development of individuals.

The first lady who recently in the news for wearing one of the most expensive sunglasses in the world stated that Within the period, CAFÉ has facilitated free corrective surgeries for over 100 children and persons with congenital mouth disorders of Cleft lip and Cleft palate in collaboration with the Smile Train International and University Teaching Hospital (NAUTH) Nnewi.

It has so far built 22 houses and donated free to indigent widows; to promote hygiene it has constructed 17 public toilets in rural markets in communities across Anambra, and 46 water borehole projects to assist women in hard-to-reach communities.

To promote quality human capital development, CAFÉ has trained and empowered over 4,600 women, widows and youths under its Skills training and acquisition programme and gave each trainee start-up money to take off on graduation. Also to rid Anambra streets of stray mentally challenged persons, CAFÉ in collaboration with the Ministry of Women and Children Affairs rescues and treats mentally challenged persons at its 77-bed facility in Nteje with a record of over 100 cases successfully managed.

Every year, the NGO sponsors free prosthetic limbs gift to the physically challenged persons with over 1,400 persons benefitting, while 1800 others got free wheel chairs and other mobility aides. To check high rate of mother and child mortality, CAFE trained 80 women as Community Health Assistants and gave them Delivery motor-bike with Baby cots and mobile phones to reach and assist women in the rural communities.

Osoieme, further stated that as a socio-philanthropic organization, CAFÉ does not request any form of gratification or payment from beneficiaries or potential beneficiaries, rather it executes all projects, trains, equips and empowers the needy free through self-funding, and the support of philanthropists. She therefore urged public spirited sons and daughters of Anambra State and friends and well-wishers to sustain their support for the organization.
