Our volunteers worked tirelessly over the Christmas period to provide food for our community of Widows there. We wanted to provide a little food security for all our clients during this difficult time and we managed to not only provide everyone with a meal but some extra cash to keep them safe and fed over the Christmas period.
We collected enough rice, oil, meggi and salt for each of our clients to take enough for a meal home with them. We were also able to provide a live chicken for one of our widows to raise! We were so excited to offer this opportunity to our clients and to give each of them a little bit of security and strength this Christmas.
Thanks to all of our wonderful funders, we were also able to provide 1000 Naira to all of our clients to help cover financial costs throughout the Christmas period. We are so proud that we are able to offer this service to our clients.
We aim to offer this again to our clients in 2021 but we need your help to make this possible, by donating to us, we can help support all our clients in Nigeria and Kenya this year.
Widows sharing their feelings on the food items received from our charity for the Christmas celebration.
Giving Christmas food like Rice, chicken, ingredients etc to widows during a time like this helps to put a smile on their faces.
Some Widows lack the feeling of the festival celebration like Christmas because they cannot afford to buy them and enjoy the best of the celebration.
After receiving the good items, they share their experience and appreciation for the charity and our founder, Mrs Oyovwe Kigho
Life should not only be lived, it should be celebrated especially for vulnerable people like widows.
This celebration took place at Delta state, Effurun on 19th December 2020.
During the festival season, more than 150 widows in Lagos state reached out to us for support for Christmas food items like rice, chicken, etc. due to the geographic location of all the widows from the different locations we decided to award a cash sum amount of N6000 to enable them to buy food for their celebration.
All widows that received a cash sum were very excited and overwhelmed, receiving a cash sum from a charity like ours.
Everything donated is greatly appreciated and every little bit helps.
We are always here to support you- please get in touch if you need any support or help.
