The winner of the Gulder Ultimate Search (GUS) season 12, Mr Odudu Out, has donated to some widows in his home state, Akwa Ibom.
This is part of the grand homecoming tour sponsored by the Nigerian Breweries, organisers of the popular jungle-reality television show.
The 22-year-old GUS 12 winner visited The Widow of Zarephath Foundation to render support, giving the organisation food items, toiletries and cash gifts.
Odudu, who was raised by a single mother, said he experienced firsthand some of the struggles of single or widowed women who lack the support of their spouses in raising their children, noting that this has inspired him to use available resources to alleviate some of their economic struggles.
He expressed optimism that the donations would make a difference in such a period of economic instability faced in the country, noting that the support provided will also serve as a means to kindle the dreams of their offspring.
On his part, Senior Brand Manager, Non-Lager and Craft; Mr Olufunmilayo Ogunbodede said, Nigerian Breweries is passionate about projects like these.
“Nigerian Breweries Plc believes in empowering the voiceless with the necessary resources to spark growth and development in various communities in Nigeria.
“The partnership between us and The Widow of Zarephath Foundation will not be a one-off affair. We shall continue to support these women to gain economic stability,” he stated.
