flutux is organizing this fundraiser.
The “Widows Might” is a project conceived by Maggiecares Foundation. Maggiecares Foundation is a charity organisation that focuses on the displaced, violated, abused, depressed, mutilated, raped, Children, teenagers and widows, With emphasis on ensuring that success, peace and happiness cut across all social strata. This we do via various arms of our movement.
The “Widows Might” is an Empowerment programme targeted at Empowering 500(five Hundred) widows via Entrepreneurial Training and Small Scale Business Establishments thereby curbing the two most viscous enemies of widowhood (poverty and parenting woes).
Death is the most inevitable and common fate of man. However, no matter how people age, no one ever wants to bury their significant other. Loosing a spouse can change a person’s life instantly and completely. A very few percentage of people survive the heartbreak of losing one. Some never truely heal from the pain of it. What happens to their offsprings? How do people manage to carey om after this huge loss? Is life ever the same again?
Some of the casualties of widowhood is uncertainty of stability(Business, Financial, parental etc) especially when the affected person was previously idle.
For this project, our focus is on “Widows Empowerment, Sensitization and Small-Scale Business Mentorship and Establishmeny.
Amongst many other challenges widows face, the burden of raising their children single-handedly without little or no means of income is the most depressing of all. A lot of women are languishing under the weight societal and family pressure
For this project, it is our collective responsibly to create channels of wealth creation and sustainability for victims and also sensitise them on the adverse effects of remaining just a “widow” without plans or relevance in other visible aspects
