In a speech during the one day programme, held at Ndiaga town hall Ugwuaji, managing director (MD) of Custos Care Foundation, Mrs Blessing Egodi Igwe, stated that the charitable organisation which is a pet project of wife of Enugu State governor, Mrs. Nkechi Mbah, was established to provide social services to the poor, needy, and the socially excluded people in the society.
“We work in five major intervention areas, which include, mother and child healthcare, and welfare, basic education for all, women and youth empowerment, social protection and mentorship,” she said.

According to her, the organisation which operates in collaboration with office of first lady of the state, promotes women and children’s health, through parental/postnatal care, nutrition, immunization education, illness management and insurance access.

“So, today, we are at Ugwuaji Community in Enugu South local Government Area of Enugu State to sensitize the rural populace, particularly women on health and hygiene issues.

“We invited people from WASH sector, and the Enugu State Agency for universal health coverage, with a view to sensitizing and enlightening the women on how to live a healthy life, and also how to embrace the state health insurance scheme,” she said.
