The Jamil and Nyanga Jaward Foundation will host a transformative Widows Fundraising Luncheon on Saturday, November 16, 2024, at CB’s Restaurant, Maritime House, Freetown. This impactful event aims to raise funds for widows and underprivileged women, providing them with the resources and support needed for stability and independence.
Widows from communities across Freetown, including Congo Town, Hill Cut, Dwazark, and Falcon Street, will come together for this special luncheon. Hawa Bintu Dauda, Acting Programs Officer for the foundation, emphasized the significance of the event, saying, “This event is more than just a luncheon; it’s an opportunity to drive positive change for widows and their families.”
In Sierra Leone, widows often serve as the primary providers for their families, facing overwhelming financial and social challenges. The foundation’s work seeks to alleviate these struggles by offering economic support and empowering these women to create brighter futures for their households. Through initiatives like this luncheon, the foundation continues to promote resilience, independence, and hope for Sierra Leonean widows.
The foundation is calling on the community to attend the luncheon, not only to enjoy a meal but to show solidarity with widows who tirelessly work to support their families despite immense hardship. By purchasing a ticket and attending, participants are actively supporting a cause that aims to make a lasting, positive impact in the lives of these women.
The foundation invites everyone to join them on November 16 to contribute to this vital cause. Together, the community can help make a profound difference.
