Some succour came the way of the elderly and less privileged in some communities in Bonny Local Government Area of Rivers State courtesy of Bonny Helping Hand Foundation (BHHF) recently.

The elderly in Kalaibiama and Park Communities, as well as, patients at the Zonal Hospital and Delta Specialist Hospital, both in Bonny Island played host to the BHHF team as they delivered donations to them.

The Bonny Helping Hand Foundation was founded by Samuel Jumbo, a social activist, community leader and entrepreneur as a means of actualizing his vision of helping the needy in the society, supporting the aspirations of his kinsmen and positively impacting those around him.

The Foundation, speaking through one of its top officials, Inyingierefagha Dappa said it was doing this to support the elderly and the less privileged who may not be able to fend for themselves, stressing that the intervention became necessary as it was in line with its core objectives.

At the various communities and health facilities, the BHHF team met with leaders and officials there to intimate them of the vision of the Foundation, appealing for cooperation and partnership to amplify the efforts to positively impact more lives through the outreach.     

In line with its avowed objectives of care for the less privileged, the Bonny Helping Hand Foundation also recently made a cash donation to a budding entrepreneur Mrs. Green to start a business of her choice.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of BHHF, Samuel Jumbo presented the cash donation to Mrs. Green, who was accompanied by her husband, Inoma Green, at the Foundation’s office at Akiama, Bonny.
