Channel for Widow Relief Initiative (CFWRI), a Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) on Wednesday trained 50 widows on snacks making and donated a cash sum of  N5,000 each for them to set up the business.

The event was organised to mark the 2019 International Window"s Day in Ibadan.

The CFWRI founder,Alhaja Fadhilat Balogun, said that over 115 million widows in the world lived in abject poverty and struggling to survive.

Balogun said that CFWRI celebrates with widows around the world and provide intervention, empowerment and relief packages to some widows in Ibadan.

Balogun said that the training and empowerment would go along way in reducing the suffering and challenges facing the widows and their families.

 " CFWRI in her ittle capacity and with assistance from different donors trained 50 widows on dough-making.

"Provide educational support to 10 primary school orphans, non-interest loan to 10 widows, business financial empowerment to 15 widows and gift for 15 widows," she said.

Balogun called on the beneficiaries to make judicious use of the iterms.


In her remark, Mrs Aminat Atere, a Director from the Ministry of Education,Oyo State, advised the widows to depend on God and not to take anybody who failed to assist them in the family as an enemy. 


Atere urged them not to see the death of their husbands as the end of life but focus on how to be role model in the society.

One of the beneficiaries, Mrs Adelodun Mariam, appreciated CFWRI for the gesture and prayed for the progress of the organisation as well as their donors.
