A non-governmental organization, Utebye Angiating Humanitarian Initiative, in a bid to cater for the needs of the needy, has donated food, start-up capital and other relief materials to Hospitals in Cross River North as well as an Orphanage homes. The relief materials came in cash and kind with several bags of rice, other food items, and clothes.
The Organization, through the leadership of Mrs Victoria Utebye Angiating led several members and partners to the hospital and Orphanages. As a corporate body, the NGO gave the items to support feeding for the patients and the orphanages.
Mrs Angiating said the Initiative is a platform to help people rise. According to her, “Utebye Angiating Humanitarian Initiative, started as a desire to give people a platform to excel, no matter where you come from, we believe that if we create this platform for everyone to excel, we can use that platform to fulfill their life’s ambition and goals to be better people.
“It’s one thing to exist in Nigeria, it’s another thing to get that platform to achieve your dreams. A lot of people have dreams and aspirations, people want to be in business, politics and the civic space.
“So, we want to be that platform that offers people that space to achieve their dream, whether you need education, water, and school, we are that platform that communicates that kindness and that good community in a way that is not political and just gives them that platform to achieve their dreams.
“This platform favours everyone in the state and even the country because this is not just a work that we do in Cross River State alone, we are extending it to other parts of the country. The major point will be to see that our people don’t experience too much hardships due to the economic crisis.
She further called on Cross Riverians to join hands together in working towards the betterment of humanity and the country.
Mrs Angiating added that, “My advice to Cross Riverians is that we should all work towards the betterment of humanity. Anytime there is strife, challenge and anywhere that has underdevelopment, we raise our hands and say here we are, send us. And we will forever be dedicated to building the structures that we all needs to thrive and also building the youths to make sure they can truly take the leadership in the future.”
“We are doing this and hoping that people see that more needs to be done. We know that a lot of people want to do this but they probably don’t have hands on ground. This is one thing we are known for. We are known to take an idea, amplify it, make it unique and help execute for humanity sake.
She said, “For us, the goal is to do good and give back to humanity. This is what we do at Utebye Angiating Humanitarian Initiative. Regardless how overwhelming this can be for us but the fact that we can put smiles on people’s faces we can better humanity, that is the goal for us and we are fulfilled in doing that.”
