The
member of the House of Representatives for Vandeikya/Konshisha Federal
Constituency of Benue State, Rt. Hon. Mrs. Dorothy Mato is making
munificent impact through her philanthrophy and love for the human race.
She awarded scholarship to seven (7) orphans in Benue State. She is
feeding, clothing them and gave them shelter. The scholarship covers
their education from nursery school to any higher institution of their
choice.
These orphans are presently in various primary and
secondary schools in Gboko, Benue State. They are extremely happy that
they now have a bright future just like those whose parents have given
them. It has been more than three (3) years since Hon. Mato took them
in.
Apart from these ones, there are numerous orphans she has
significantly changed their lives and is still doing so by donating
various items to meet their basic needs. A lot of her impact in this
regard has not been known by many people because she refused to draw the
attention of the media to them saying it is not every philanthropic
service that should be publicized. However, she believes that
publicizing some philanthropic services will encourage and challenge
others to do the same.
In a statement issued through her media
department on Saturday, March 17, 2018, she appealed to wealthy
Nigerians to use part of their accumulated wealth to elevate the human
race and help the needy by also touching the lives of orphans and
children. She appreciates those who have done and and still doing so.
According to her, giving food, cloths, shelter and other items to
orphans and needy children, showing them our love and care is one way
that God can use us to bring hope to their despair.
