 I head of the International Widows' Day Human Development Initiative has rendered support to widows and the vulnerable people in the society. Executive Director of HDI Olufusho Owasanoye, who led her team at the Baptist Church in Yaba area of Lagos State, says the gesture is meant to elevate the hardship the widows go through. Paul George tells us more in the reports. In every society, there are women of all ages whose husbands have died, leaving them vulnerable. The underprivileged widows and vulnerable children constitute a significant component. It is no surprise that these vulnerable ones have converged on this church. The economic situation of the country leaves much to be desired and have greatly impacted on their daily lives. Olufusho Owasanoye leads the Human Development Initiative. She speaks of her drive and why it has become necessary to show support. As of that 25 years ago, there were this set of vulnerable groups that I would say neglected, that most people like you just go and sit down there. So early then, it was my husband and I, we used to go to churches and some of these, where they have widows go, to talk to them about where or even what they can do before their husband dies. We are pardoned through vocational skills, beat-making, catering, all sorts of empowerment to make them self-reliance. Can we give education scholarship to their children, from nursery to federal university? As of today, we have 75 in university, almost 500 from nursery to primary school. And I want to use this medium to say big thank you to our donors and partners. As admonitions are reeled out, the widows here are encouraged to be prudent and advised to put God first as the future is bright. I'm going to begin by telling you that if I am not prudent, I think I would have been lost. I would have been lost. And all my children would have been lost also. We all are widows. We are all alone, only on our own, that we are the favorites in the God's heart. God loves the widows. And once you keep yourself for God, God will always be with you. One of the donors expresses delight in supporting the initiative, while the beneficiaries are appreciative of the guest job. We always partner with them, not only them, but other, you know, different groups of widows, associations in various areas. We've met provisionally for 250 people. All of a sudden, today happens to be a lot of people that came. The expatriate crowd, they brought their friends and know what not. So they are ranging about 300 and above 300. I'm a widow of eight children. So they say they will assist me, they will help. I never believe it. The good word they started, the Lord who made them to start this war, shall fulfill long life prosperity and health. The callers to come and attend this meeting today, for this Jesus' wife meeting. We pray for them and God give them power to make sure that they remember us every year, by year and God will give them the power and knowledge to be doing this for us. One of the high points of the event was the presentation of gift items to the beneficiaries. Paul, George.
