Everlasting Joy Foundation Distribute Palliative to the Widows & Needy in Gwagwalada Area Council Fct Abuja


EVERLASTING JOY Foundation is a Non-Government Organisation based in Abuja, Nigeria. In the spirit of service to humanity, our Foundation felt the need to identify with the widows in the society. Today, our aim of the outreach is to help vulnerable widows who were facing extreme poverty in the society. Several widows from other parts of the country have enjoyed the assorted food items, irrespective of tribe or religious background. In the past few weeks, EVERLASTING JOY Foundation have engaged in corporate responsibility at other parts of the country, improving the condition of the poor widows.
Today’s event is a continuation of our responsibility to reach-out to the widows and needy in FCT suburbs and to identify with them, during this critical time of our National life. The EVERLASTING JOY Foundation have registered over 6000 widows representing 1000 each per area council. Our registration is free and still open at our office at EVERLASTING JOY Foundation in Abuja. We have also arranged with different anchors to train our register widows on unique skills to encourage them on self-reliance. EVERLASTING JOY have made adequate provision for start-up capital to widows interested in contributing to the local economy.
Some areas of the training include:
Making of Akara/buns/puff-puff
Making of Cake/Chin-Chin
Fish farming
Goat Farming
Snail-farming
Poultry farming
Making palm-oil
Making of Soup / bleach
Fashion design
Hair Dressing
Our foundation is now appealing to National Center for Women Development to put a structure in place that will open social-economic opportunities to the vulnerable widows.
For those that are economically productive, contributing to the local economy, we have arranged for Widows’ cooperative to enable them to enjoy a revolving interest-free loan. Our research has shown that the urban widows are highly vulnerable in recent years. As soon as this Pandemic (COVID-19) is over, we will roll-out the first Phase of this loan in FCT, Lagos and Port-Harcourt, concurrently. This does not prevent the suburban widows that we found to be critical in food sustainability. However, over 2500 rural widows, in our database, will be engaged in what we called Agric-trading for poverty alleviation. This means that we shall provide a value chain platform to the widows in rural farming to enable them to maximise profit from their products. These are efforts by the EVERLASTING JOY Foundation to empower widows to be self-reliance and self-sustaining.
Let me use this opportunity to thank the founder of this Foundation and the entire board of
trustees for their selflessness in reaching out to the needy at this time of our national life. On
behalf of the entire leadership of EVERLASTING JOY Foundation and all stakeholders, we
express our gratitude to the Women in media for their moral support and kind help towards the
success of this program.
On a closing note, let us all say no to gender discrimination, rape and social violence. We are
also advocating for more and robust inclusiveness of women in governance.
Long live EVERLASTING JOY Foundation
Long live FCT
Long live Nigeria
