Over 3,000 widows, vulnerable women and youth got free food items from Roses Ministry to keep them and families together, happy and alive.
The Founder, Roses Ministry, Mrs. Regina Ezenwa, addressing the beneficiaries at the event said food items, such as rice, groundnut oil, bread, tomatoes pastes, seasonings and wrappers among others were dished out.
“Roses Ministry has empowered widows and vulnerable women over the years with skills such as small-scale manufacturing of dish washing liquid, anti-septic, air freshener, perfume, insecticides, bead-making and wire works and hat making, as well as services such as catering, make-up and gele tying.”
Ezenwa also said: “We are raising educationally and morally sound youths who will impact their generation, through seminars, counselling, scholarships for education and skills acquisition programmes, marriage counselling and hope of restoration to broken relationships as well as restore the dignity of womanhood.”
The Chief Executive Officer, Leading Edge Consulting and Past President, Chartered Institute of Directors Nigeria, Dr IjeJidenma, noted that these are indeed trying times for all. “It is particularly hard on widows since they are sole bread winners in their families.”
She advised that they collaborate with others, as it is very useful in fulfilling both physiological and social needs.
