A charitable organization has been set up by Mercy Eke, winner of Big Brother Naija for 2019 to aid individuals who have difficulty fulfilling their diverse needs.

It would help widows, struggling businesspeople, students who are unable to afford their school fees and to take poor children out of streets.

Mercy said her first initiative will provide N5 million grants to small company owners in order to help sustain their companies, according to the announcement made on her Instagram on Friday.

She wrote:

The Mercy Eke Foundation is finally here💞🙏🏻

I have always wanted to give back, and I’m glad I can finally make this dream of mine a reality.

The Mercy Eke Foundation is a charity organization and we would be helping a different groups of people from time to time.

From struggling business owners to sick people who can’t afford their bills to single mothers, to widows, to students who are struggling with their fees in school, to kids on the streets, and more.

For our first project tagged #MEFWithBusinessOwners, we would be giving out N5million, to help a few business owners who are struggling or have brilliant business ideas but have no money to start up.

To be a benefactor, all you have to do is upload a creative 1-minute video on your Instagram, telling and showing us what you do or what you want to do. Post with the hashtag #MEFWithBusinessOwners and tag @mercyekefoundation

Our team will make a selection for the final pick.

I wish you all good luck…
