Wife of Anambra State Governor, Mrs Ebelechukwu Obiano, will on Tuesday distribute the second phase of prosthetic limbs to about 200 physically challenged beneficiaries in the state, News Express has learnt.

Mrs. Obiano is currently in United States of America where she went to visit her children, but one of her aides told News Express last night that she is rounding off her trip.

“Mrs. Obiano is expected back in the country early in the week in readiness for the all-important function of prosthetic limb distribution to the physically challenged which will hold at the Women Development Centre,” the aide said.

The first phase of the prosthetic limb distribution programme sponsored by the wife of the governor held before the Christmas in 2014 had over 300 beneficiaries.

Mrs Obiano is the founder and focal Person of the Caring Family Enhancement Initiative (CAFÉ), a non-profit, non-partisan pet project which has a mandate to care for the less privileged and reduce women-child vulnerability while maintaining the dignity of the physically challenged amongst other programmes.

Since coming on stream, CAFÉ has done a lot to mobilize and give support and succour to indigent families as well as the physically challenged, through its welfare packages.

Also through CAFÉ, Mrs Obiano supports the welfare programmes of Obiano’s administration which promotes strong and healthy families through assisting and supporting vulnerable groups amongst Ndi Anambra to feel the impact of government and eventually contribute to the socio-economic development of the state.
