For over three decades, Lady Christy Ray Okoye has been a beacon of hope for the less privileged women and children in her community.
Through her NGO, Christy Ray Okoye Foundation, she has provided succour and support to those in need, particularly during festive periods like Easter and Christmas.
Last Saturday, the philanthropist organised an outreach programme for women at Foursquare Gospel Church Hall, Agidingbi, Ikeja, Lagos. The event was one of many initiatives she has undertaken to alleviate the suffering of widows and vulnerable women.
Lady Christy’s tireless efforts have earned her numerous awards and recognitions, including her official title as Ambassador Christy Ray Okoye.
Inspired by the exemplary feats of Mother Theresa of Calcutta, the amiable fashion icon is known for her generosity, philanthropy, and spiritual persuasion. Her voice is strident in speaking for and representing the interests of the voiceless.
In recognition of her excellent and unparalleled outreaches, Lady Christy Ray Okoye has been suffixed with the appellation ‘Ojiefiemeogo’, meaning someone who gifts whole cow, a symbolic rarity in Igboland.
