The Touch Me Foundation in partnership with Noella Foundation and Child Rights Foundation, has donated food items to widows to alleviate the current economic challenges in the country.
The event which was held in Abuja on Valentine’s Day witnessed the participation of over 600 widows and 100 children, who were the recipients of food palliatives and financial aid.
The founder of Touch Me Foundation, Prince Ademuyiwa Toni Oduwole, while sharing his insights on the profound impact of the initiative said, “Valentine’s Day, a day traditionally earmarked for lovers to exchange gifts and celebrate love since the 8th Century, was reimagined this year to embrace the often-overlooked members of our community – the widows and single parents. It was an absolute honor to collaborate with Noella Foundation and Child Rights Foundation to ensure these remarkable women felt a strong sense of love and care.”
He said the event transcended beyond the provision of immediate aid, laying the groundwork for long-term empowerment of the beneficiaries.
Oduwole said the foundation has concluded plans to commence an 18-month youth empowerment program titled: ‘Renew Hope For The Youth Empowerment Program Initiatives’.
He said the empowerment would feature vocational training, followed by a year of establishment and monitoring, aimed at offering sustainable support to uplift the involved families.
