I love making the less-privileged happy–ify okeke

Plus-size actress and founder of Rachael Okeke-Ozzoude Foundation (ROOF), Ify Okeke, and her team are set again this year to fete the less-privileged at an event billed to hold on December 20 at the Golden Tulip Hotel, Festac, Lagos.

This year’s event tagged “Let My Best Be Someone Best & Let My Trash Be Someone Treasure” will witness activities such as Widows on runway, Dance competition by widows, music, empowerment and presentation of awards.

According to Ify, ROOF will give away items such as rice, vegetable oil and toiletries among others.

Ify said, “We are all set for this year. Let’s do it again. I want to formally tell you about my yearly Charity event ‘Empowerment For The Less Privileged & Humanitarian Awards (ELPHA). This event is mainly to empower and party with the children, orphans, blind, deaf, dumb, widows, Down syndrome, disabled, aged ones, physically & socially challenged one among others.

“I will want you to be part of it, and tap into this. I promise you won’t regret it. This award is strictly to honour those who selflessly stand in the gap for the less privileged ones.”

In June 2018, Ify marked 20 years on stage, an event she used to reach out to widows. The event, tagged ‘Roof lives with smiles’ had every widow present go home with the empowerment equipment and monetary gift made available by good Samaritans.
