A Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), Queen Jennifer Unity Foundation (QJUFOUNDATION), has urged the Federal Government to design a programme that would have direct impact on widows in the country.





Miss Jennifer Okechukwu, the founder of the NGO, made the appeal on Saturday at the First edition of its annual to Empower Program in Enugu where Gift items Such as rice , wrappers,Tin tomatoes,Benny season ,salt ,plantain floor, Izal and liquid soap where shared to Widows in Agwu LGA of Enugu State

Jennifer also called on the government and other stakeholders to make the task of alleviating the suffering of widows and their children a priority .

“In Nigeria today, most widows live in abject poverty with most of their children malnourished and prone to avoidable diseases. “The population of widows is steadily increasing in Nigeria and yet little is known about them and the challenges they go through. “ Many of these widows rely on petty trading because of insufficient funds to engage in a fairly lucrative business that would be sufficient to take care of themselves and their children.

“ Government and relevant stakeholders need to collaborate with NGOs to alleviate the suffering of widows in Nigeria because organisations alone cannot bear the enormous task of the widows in the country,’’ she said.

Queen Jennifer told SupremeTv that The Foundation will enrolled more than 300 widows into its various self Employed initiatives.

According to Emmanuel Anabueze , The Foundation is currently executing an empowerment program on fashion designing,soap Making where widows and orphans were being trained and also screening for cervical cancer will be made available for this Widows.

She solicited the support of public spirited individuals, corporate bodies, government, foundations, local and international donors for funding its projects

Good

This is what I expect from beautiful ladies who are comfortable and able to do, empowered these women so that you can be blessed. Even if she is a beauty queen, these women's prayer for her will enlarge her coast for these that she has done. People like her are rare..

Please take note. In case of next time.

More power to her. People like her will make Nigeria great, not the stupid b*stards who flaunt their wealth in front of the poor.

She is teaching the poor widows useful skills so that they can manufacture goods for trade. This woman is a true saint.
