The Lucky Worluh Foun
dation for Widows and the Orphans says it has concluded plan to build a widow house and an orphanage in Rivers State.
The initiator of the foundation, Sir Lucky Worluh said this during the presentation of Christmas gifts to over 609 widows in Rundele in the Emohua Local Government Area.
Sir Worluh said that the proposed widows house and orphanages would provide accessibility between humanitarian organizations and the less privileged in the society such as the widows and orphans.
He described as sad the introduction of kidnapping and cultism into Rundele community and called on parents to warn their children and wards against acts that were alien to the community.
According to him, time has come for parents to not only investigate sources of their children’s wealth, but speak out against attempts by some miscreants to turn the area into a haven for criminals.
Lucky Worluh said that the ceremony which was the sixth in the series, was to immortalize his late mother Alice Worluh who before her death was a widow and also to fulfil a covenant between him and God to assist the less privileged not just in Rundele but across the state.
Also speaking, Mrs. Queeneth Worluh said that the family was proud  to identify with the less privileged in the society stressing it is a tradition that the family will sustain”.
She also used the occasion to call on other well-meaning individuals in the community to reach out to the less privileged adding that by so doing Rundele as a community would experience love and peace.
In her speech the women leader of the community, Mrs. Priscilla N. Ogbu said that the beneficiaries are Christians drawn from the five communities which make up Rundele clean.
She said that the programme was part of the activities by the Lucky Worluh family to propagate the gospel of Christ, by bringing more people to know God.
Also speaking one of the beneficiaries, Mrs. Chinyere Okachi said that widows in Rundele always looked up to this season when Lucky Worluh would provide them with gift items.
The over 609 widows who participated in the programme received bags of rice, wrappers and cash.
