The program is strategically scheduled on weekdays, from Monday to Friday, excluding weekends, allowing for maximum participation and engagement from the communities involved. Through various activities, the foundation aims to create a platform for dialogue, education, and support for widows, ultimately advocating for equal inheritance rights.
Mr. Bengeh, the program manager, expressed the importance of bringing joy to these resilient widows during this festive season. He noted, "This initiative serves as a way to bring joyful celebrations to the doorstep of these resilient widows, providing a moment of happiness and solidarity."
The week-long event will feature a range of activities, including awareness campaigns, educational workshops, and cultural celebrations. Community members are encouraged to participate actively in the discussions and festivities, fostering a sense of unity and support.
As the Jamil and Nyanga Jaward Foundation continues to make strides in championing social causes, this end-of-year celebration stands as a testament to their commitment to empowering marginalized communities. The foundation hopes that this initiative will spark meaningful conversations about the rights of widows and their children, leading to positive change in societal attitudes and practices.
