In a resounding effort to address the prevailing economic challenges facing communities, the Sir Emeka Okwuosa Foundation (SEOF) successfully flagged off a rice distribution event at Umeshi Townhall in Oraifite, Anambra State.

The officiating ministers, including archbishops, added a spiritual dimension to the event, reinforcing the message of compassion and communal support.
