Our Mission

Our mission is to offer a compassionate hand, and guide widows through their darkest moments. We understand the unique challenges widows face, and we are here to offer practical assistance and emotional support. With a vision of a world where widows thrive, we strive to make a lasting impact. Through our wide range of programs and services, we aim to foster financial stability, access to education, and opportunities for personal growth. We work tirelessly to ensure that no widow is left behind, and that their potential is unleashed.

Our Story

Widow Aid is a charity organization that emerged as a manifestation of Corporate Social Responsibility, driven by the desire to alleviate the challenges faced by indigent widows, widowers, and orphans. Widow Aid is registered with the Corporate Affairs Commission of Nigeria, with the Registration Number 7117124. Our organization is committed to providing assistance to beneficiaries based on their individual needs, ensuring that we address their specific circumstances. While our name suggests a focus on widows, Widow Aid recognizes the importance of extending support to a broader range of individuals. We aim to assist 60% widows, 30% orphans, and 10% widowers, acknowledging the diverse needs and struggles faced by these vulnerable groups within society.

We recognize that a lot of widows' lives and livelihoods are affected by climate change. Hence we introduce climate related projects, sustainable energy alternatives, carbon emission reduction options, smart agriculture and climate education advocacy.

At Widow Aid, we believe in offering more than just charity and emotional support. We are dedicated to empowering our beneficiaries by providing opportunities for skill acquisition and educational training. By equipping them with valuable skills and knowledge, we aim to enhance their self-sufficiency and long-term prospects for a brighter future. To achieve our objectives, Widow Aid seeks to establish strategic partnerships with functional Corporate Organizations within the country, Government Agencies, and several International Organizations such as UKAID and USAID. By collaborating with these esteemed entities, we leverage their expertise, resources, and networks to maximize our impact and reach more individuals in need.

In recognition of the extraordinary efforts put forth by individuals in the realm of charity and philanthropy, Widow Aid is committed to expanding our partnerships through awards. We will acknowledge and honor those who have made significant contributions to society, inspiring others to follow in their footsteps and make a difference in the lives of the less fortunate. In addition to our wide-ranging efforts, Widow Aid also recognizes the unique challenges faced by Force Widows. We are determined to provide tailored support and assistance to these brave women who have lost their partners in the line of duty. Through our specialized programs, we aim to alleviate their burdens and provide them with the care and resources they deserve.

At Widow Aid, our mission is driven by compassion, empathy, and a firm belief in the transformative power of collective action. Together, we can create a society that supports and uplifts those who are most in need, ensuring that no one is left behind in the face of adversity. Join us in making a positive impact and becoming a catalyst for change.
