NIGERIAN model-cum-actress, Beverly Osu, as with most of her colleagues, has taken to render humanitarian gestures, with a special focus on slum dwellers.

Osu who came to limelight with her participation in the Big Brother Africa reality TV show, said her NGO would be looking to support those living in slums.

“I am going to focus on how I can upgrade them. The project started in March but the first seminar will take place later this year, in Port Harcourt. I still look forward to getting bigger sponsors but for now, I have support from Laura Shoes and people have started donating different items.

“While on a movie set in Ajah, I saw some young guys filling a canoe with sand. So I approached them, seeking to know how much they get paid for the job. Surprisingly, one of them said, N500. Immediately, I said to myself, people are suffering,” she stated.

Encouraged by her project manager, after her movie shoot, she decided to do something about the slum and those living in it.

“So we decided to start from Port Harcourt and by the grace of God, we will touch lives in every part of the country,” the controversial entertainer added.
