presents the story of Chief Mrs. Rachel Umahi-a tireless giver, and wife of of
Ebonyi Sttae Governor, Engr David UmAHI
The charity minded lady was born on 23rd

after obtaining her West African School Certificate (WASC) in 1991.
Thereafter,
she gained admission into the Rivers State University of Science and Technology
(RSUST), Port Harcourt in 2002, where she obtained a Bachelor of Science
(B.Sc.) degree in 2007.

election and swearing-in of her husband, Engr. Chief David Umahi as the
Governor of Ebonyi State; Chief Mrs. Rachel Umahi engaged herself in numerous
humanitarian and welfare services to the needy, by bringing succor and
upliftment to various families across the state.

she undertook through her NGO, the “FAMILY
SUCCOR AND UPLIFTMENT PROGRAMME”.
Through
this platform, Her Excellency facilitates numerous social development
programmes for Ebonyi women and children, particularly as it relates to primary
healthcare and welfare programmes.
To
further drive home her determination to improving upon the socio-economic

agencies and organizations such as the United Nations Industrial Development
Organization (UNIDO), U. N. Women, W.H.O., Society for Family Health and other

actualization of her programmes on effective development of Ebonyi Women and

mother in a million.
