Edo State-based Chinese company, Yongxing Steel Company, has donated a building meant for an orphanage to the Catholic Church-owned Charity Home for the Needy.
At a ceremony to formally hand over the facility to the church in Benin City at the weekend, a representative of the company, Hazel Han, said the situation in the charity home was brought to the company’s notice by the Edo State Office of the First Lady.
She said the company visited the facility and saw its state and immediately swung into action by purchasing a new building, which was refurbished to meet the needs of the orphans and their carers.
She said, “Yongxing visited the old home to understand the situation. We saw the condition of the building where the children were living and learned that they had been given notice to vacate the property.
“We felt that the children needed more than temporary assistance.
