By Charles Okereke 

Many smiled home to their kitchens in two communities in Alayi, Bende LGA, Abia State on Saturday, September 25, 2021. LifeCare fed many homes as the NGO distributed assorted types of food and personal protective gear against Covid- 19 to pregnant women, widows and the elderly in its relief outreach in the ancient city. Rice, tomatoes, salt, indomie and more were distributed to beneficiaries. 

LifeCare is an NGO headquartered in the United States with branches in Nigeria and Togo. The communities that benefited in the fifth phase exercise were Okwonta - Amankalu and Umuenyere both in Alayi. During the fifth exercise as in all LifeCare Covid-19 era relief operations, both staff and beneficiaries are required to wear face masks, wash and sanitize hands. Beneficiaries are allowed to go home with all they are given including face masks. 

LifeCare President, Mrs. Lucy Ucha Evans speaking to newsmen from her U.S. base said the needy across Nigeria will soon get succour from LifeCare as resources become available.

Mrs. Evans has masters degree in Social Work, with focus on mental health therapy. She is a final year doctorate degree student in Public Health.
