Enugu charity home gets potable water, 12 years after

Smiles, yesterday, radiated the faces of members of 12-year-old Mother Louisa Charity Home, in Enugu State, as a non-governmental agency, Save African Children on Social Vices Initiative (SACSVI), commissioned the first water project in the facility. 
 
The home, which currently houses over 70 children, was set up in October 2010 for the physically challenged children of the society who relied on water vendors for their day-to-day activities.
  
Chief Executive of SACSVI, Rev. Jeffrey Ramsey, stated, during the commissioning, that members of his organisation, who visited the charity home to celebrate the children’s day last year, were touched to discover that water was a major problem in the facility.
 

According to him, the organisation primarily set up for buildings skills, rehabilitation of communities, school and healthcare programmes, is committed to ensuring relocation of the facility to a permanent site, stressing that it would help them achieve their stated goals.

Proprietor of the Home, Mrs. Louisa Eke, a widow, said she was moved to set up the home from a room in her apartment in 2010 and was nursing the children with the help of members of her family.

She commended members of SACSVI for remembering the home, saying the project would go a long way in taking care of their water needs.
