Elijah’s Widows and Orphans Mission (EWOMI), a non-governmental organization dedicated to supporting widows and orphans, brought joy and relief to widows during its annual Christmas outreach program. The initiative saw the distribution of festive gifts, including wrappers and essential food items, to widows in need, ensuring they could celebrate the holiday season with dignity and warmth.
The event, held in various communities, was aimed at easing the financial burden on widows during the festive period while fostering a spirit of love and togetherness. The beneficiaries received bags of rice, cooking oil, and other staple food items, along with beautifully patterned wrappers, symbolizing care and appreciation for their resilience.
Speaking at the event, Ambassador Elijah Obaka John, the founder of EWOMI, highlighted the importance of giving during the holiday season. “Christmas is a time of sharing and kindness. Our goal is to remind these widows that they are not alone, and that they are valued members of our community. We hope that this small gesture brings joy to their hearts and homes,” he stated.
Widows who benefited from the program expressed heartfelt gratitude, sharing how the support would make a significant difference in their celebrations. Many emphasized the impact of EWOMI’s continuous efforts in uplifting and empowering vulnerable groups in society.
Community leaders and stakeholders commended EWOMI for its unwavering commitment to humanitarian service and urged continued support for widows and disadvantaged individuals.
The Christmas gift distribution is one of many initiatives led by EWOMI to support widows and orphans across Nigeria. Through various empowerment programs, educational support, and welfare initiatives, the organization remains steadfast in its mission to bring hope and positive change to lives in need.
As EWOMI continues its outreach, it calls on individuals and organizations to join in spreading love and generosity, ensuring that vulnerable members of society are not left behind during the festive season and beyond.
