The Uzotex Charity Foundation, led by its founder Festus Uzoma Mbisiogu, distributed food items and cash worth over ₦10 million to residents of Umuchima in Ideato South Local Government Area of Imo State. The gesture aimed to support less privileged members of the community during the Christmas and New Year celebrations.
The event, held on Saturday at the Catholic Great Church of Immaculate Conception (C.I.C), began with a mass officiated by Rev. Fr. Donatus Dozie, alongside Rev. Fr. Chibuzo Dike and Rev. Fr. Matthew Eze. Over 11 villages in the community and 20 special teenagers referred to as “Uzotex children” benefitted from the initiative.
Rev. Fr. Donatus Dozie described Mbisiogu as a philanthropist committed to improving lives, highlighting his previous contributions, including scholarships, boreholes, electricity transformers, and school renovations.
The Foundation’s Program Supervisor, Mr. Obioma Okwara, noted that the initiative, which has been running annually for 15 years, continues to impact lives across Umuchima and beyond.
Beneficiaries, including widows and teenagers, expressed gratitude to the foundation for the support, describing it as timely and life-changing.
