Quarterly upkeep for nursing widows

The Quarterly Upkeep for Nursing Widows programme is a compassionate initiative designed to support widowed mothers during the critical first two years of their children's lives. Each quarter, sixteen carefully selected widows from across Niger State receive comprehensive support packages that include baby essentials such as diapers, baby foods, baby clothing, grains for the mother, fabrics for the mother, and beverages for the mother. This vital programme officially commenced on 12th January, 2020, and has since become a cornerstone of our commitment to supporting vulnerable families in our communities.
