Ten Traders Get Economic Lifeline
As part of its programme to boost economic activities in the state, the Rotary Club of Port Harcourt District 9141 has presented cheques to ten market women in Port Harcourt.
The programme which was under the micro credit scheme of the club also coincided with the Rotary International 116 years anniversary.
President, Rotary Club of Port Harcourt District 9141, Rotarian Adeolu Okanlanwon said the scheme was to boost economic activities with a view to driving away poverty.
Okanlanwon said several petty traders had benefitted from the club’s micro credit scheme.
He said the club was seeking for partnership to improve on its services to communities in the state.
According to him, Rotary Club has done well in the areas of provision of water and healthcare facilities to communities, provision of school facilities to encourage teaching and learning in schools build friendships across communities as well as help in the area of peace building and conflict resolutions.
Also speaking, past president of the club, Frank Eni charged the beneficiaries to see the programme as a life time opportunity to improve themselves and families.
He said their successes would encourage the club to expand the scheme to include more women in the state.
Also speaking, past District Governor of the club, Ijeoma Okoro, also charged the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the money by investing it genuinely.
Okoro also thanked the club for sustaining the micro credit scheme as it is helping several families to put food on their tables.
Speaking on behalf of the beneficiaries, Mrs Joy Ndubuisi, thanked the club for considering them worthy for the scheme.
