At Alan Charity, we believe in the transformative power of compassion. For over seven months, we have been dedicated to making a difference in the lives of widows across our community through our monthly outreach program. Each month, we choose one widow to receive a special blessing—a package of support aimed at alleviating their burdens and bringing hope to their lives.
Why We Started This Initiative
Widows face unique challenges, often shouldering the responsibility of raising children and managing households on limited or no income. Many struggle with financial insecurity, housing instability, and a lack of access to basic needs. Recognizing this, we at Alan Charity felt a strong calling to step in and make a meaningful impact.
Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide relief, empowerment, and encouragement to widows who have experienced significant loss. Through this program, we aim to restore dignity and hope to those who need it most.
How We Bless Widows Each Month
Every month, we carefully select one widow to receive tailored support based on their specific needs. This support may include:
- Financial Assistance: Helping with urgent bills or providing funds for essential needs.
- Educational Support: Assisting with school fees and materials for their children.
- Food and Basic Necessities: Supplying groceries and essential household items.
Stories of Transformation
Here are just a few examples of how this outreach has touched lives:
A New Beginning for Mrs Adija: A widow with four children, She struggled to keep her family afloat after losing her husband.
Hope Restored for Grace: Grace’s total market value was less than two pounds, and she had to rely on strangers to fund her transport back home after coming out to trade.
Hope restored for Magret: Providing for three children seems to be hectic for this woman who sells Zobo in a primary school and we did the little we could.
Hope restored for Nkechi: Providing for three children after the loss of her husband was tough. All three children are about to write expensive state exams. We sponsor one of the children exam fees and bless her with food items.
Hope restored for Grandma: Grandma has little or no support from friends and families. She lost one of the children taking care of her and has been struggling ever since. We blessed her with cash and food items.
Meet Dorcas: A resilient mother of five who has been navigating life on her own since her husband’s passing four years ago. Just last week, she was able to enroll some of her children in school, but the journey is still challenging, and she needs all the support she can get. Let’s come together to help lighten her load and give her children a brighter future.
Meet Mrs Ibrahim, A resilient mother who has been navigating life independently for four years with children. She had health issues and could no longer hawk her commodities. She had to resort to menial jobs, which led to a severe injury. Let’s unite to help lighten her load and give her children a brighter future.
Our Commitment to Continuity
This initiative is only the beginning. While we currently focus on blessing one widow each month, our vision is to expand the program to reach even more widows across the region.
