More than 3000 widows will be trained and economically empowered by a non-profit organization CHADASH Empowerment Foundation in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, on Sunday (today).
The event is scheduled to hold at the Ake Palace Ground Abeokuta, with beneficiaries drawn from different communities in Egbaland, with the aim at improving their livelihoods through skills development and the provision of empowerment tools.
The venue is fully prepared ahead of the programme, with various empowerment tools and equipment arranged for distribution to the widows after the training sessions.
Organisers said the initiative is designed to equip widows with practical skills and resources that will enable them to become self-reliant, improve their economic well-being, and contribute meaningfully to their families and communities.
The annual programme has continued to grow in scope and impact since its inception.
Chadash Empowerment Foundation is a non-profit organization formally established in 2018, with the sole objective of alleviating the plight of vulnerable Widows and orphans in the society. The aim is to promote their welfare and economically empower the disadvantaged widows and orphans.
The goal of the Foundation is to rekindle hope of the less privileged Widows and Orphans in the society.
Over the years, Chadash has enjoyed significant growth in economically empowering Widows and Orphans in Nigeria. Since its establishment, it has empowered over 10,000 widows and supported about 30 orphanage homes by providing portable water boreholes, donating cash gifts and food items, and equipping them with educational materials to facilitate their learning.
