FOOSTODEY, an international Non Governmental Organisation, NGO, has donated a branded Toyota Sienna van to the wife of the Governor of Delta State, Mrs Tobore Oborevwori’s ‘You Matter Charity Foundation’ in celebration of it’s one year anniversary.
Speaking during the presentation at Government House Asaba, Thursday, 15 August, 2024, National Coordinator, FOOSTODEY, Elvis Ahior said the donation was in recognition of the good works of Mrs Oborevwori’s You Matter Charity Foundation as it clocks one year.
“Today is a memorable day and as members of FOOSTODEY, led by our International Coordinator Comrade Reuben Izeze (Esq.), we have come here to recognize the good works Her Excellency has been doing thus far through her foundation “You Matter Charity Foundation” and also to celebrate the Foundation’s one (1) year anniversary.
“Riding on the vision to create a society where everyone feels valued no matter their background, the Foundation adopted the motto, ‘Everybody is Somebody’,
“As an organization and as individuals we can all relate to this motto; we can all relate to the need to feel some level of self worth or to even have that helping hand or support system that helps you realise you can be M.O.R.E or do M.O.R.E.
“The works of Her Excellency’s foundation have continued to impact communities and lives across Delta state. This has led to the recognition of the foundation, not just locally but globally as well.
“The foundation has continued to set standards as a trail blazer, and its templates are now being replicated in other parts of the country.
“You Matter Charity Foundation has continued to advocate for accessible healthcare and the right to education for every child, women empowerment, elimination of gender based violence and drug abuse, and carry out various outreaches to impact rural dwellers across all communities in Delta State.
“We have come today to join other well-meaning individuals to support your good works with the donation of a van.
“We believe that this van will not only aid the mobility of the foundation but also provide logistics support for her activities.
“This will further assist the Foundation in reaching more individuals across the state, especially in the rural areas, and continue to further drive the impact of its activities across Delta State.
“We, members of FOOSTODEY and our International Coordinator Comrade Reuben Izeze (Esq.), are inspired to make this donation of a Toyota Sienna Van to Her Excellency’s Foundation “You Matter Charity Foundation”, this day in the year 2024 to mark its one year anniversary, because we strongly believe “Everybody is Somebody”.
Responding, Wife of the Delta State Governor and Founder, ‘You Matter’ Charity Foundation, Deaconess Tobore Oborevwori, expressed appreciation to Deltans who have bought into and supported her pet project.
Mrs Oborevwori thanked the NGO for the donation adding that You Matter Charity Foundation has, for the past one year, carried out humanitarian and people centered activities to give vulnerable Deltans a sense of hope and actualization.
She pledged to continue using her privileged position to advance the cause of the less-privileged in the society.
Earlier, leader of the delegation and Delta State Commissioner for Works (Highways and Urban Roads), Comrade Reuben Izeze, in his address, said the group was pleased to identify with the works of the Foundation in impacting the grassroot across various communities in the state.
He added that the vehicle would not only aid mobility but would also provide logistic support for the Foundation’s activities.
