A non-governmental organisation, JESUNIC Foundation has offered scholarships to ten indigent students in Southeast to enable them achieve world-class education.
The beneficiaries studying at the Community Secondary School, Ndiagu Amechi in Enugu South Local Government Area of Enugu State were drawn across the five states of Anambra, Enugu, Abia, Imo and Ebonyi.
Managing Director of the Foundation, John Paul Egbo told reporters in Awka, Anambra State that the group targeted achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in the areas of education, women empowerment and community development across the country.
He said: “This is evident in our various projects such as scholarships for indigent students, vocational school for women and girls, empowerment of widows, provision of clean water and sanitation, medical aid and other outreaches to schools and villages.
“This is a unique approach to reaching our world that other non-governmental organisations can emulate to achieve the greater good for people.
Egbo charged beneficiaries to be good ambassadors of the school as they grow to be men and women of sound character.
He further praised Enugu State Governor, Ifeanyi Ugwuanyi for providing enabling environment for seamless attainment of all round education in the state, assuring continuity of the programme.
Responding separately, the recipients showered praises and prayers on the benefactor, calling on other philanthropists to emulate the organisation to improve education in the state.
