<div>My name is Hope Nwakwesi. Over 31 years ago I became widowed with 4 little kids under ages (9-4).
</div>
<div>Barely 28 years, after going through the cultural practices and coming back to the city, I was evicted from my home and suspended from work. Under 3 months, I lost my husband, my house and my job. An experience that made me contemplate suicide.
</div>
<div>Overcoming the suicidal thoughts and actions, I fought to survive. At survival 22 years after, in 2016 I offically went into mentoring widows and advocating cultural change and beliefs. Founding Almanah Hope Foundation, from radio talk show, gender-based violence education in schools, charity walk, widows protection Bill, Nigeria widows summit, widows baseline data, skill acquisition training and financial support I worked passionately with my resources to addressing the issues of widowhood in Nigeria; emphasizing the need for a strategic action for widows by government.
</div>
<div>In 2020, our webinar The Widows Summit, bringing together a diverse participants across the continent; its outcome reinforced my belief that African Widows empowerment require government STRATEGY. The CHARITY presentation and treatment of her issues is creating a new form of abuse. African Widows are challenges apart from the cultural practices of harmful traditional practices, disinheritance, among others is facing socio-economic exclusion with little or no inclusion of widows in national and international economic policy frameworks, a new abuse of socio-economic exploitation is emerging. 
</div>
<div>Initiating a widows body and excuted the 1st African Widows Summit. 
</div>
<div><strong>My profound appreciation goes sincerely to you all that support my mission TAWS2024. </strong>
</div>
<div>In organising the 2nd edition of The African Widows Summit TAWS2025 in Namibia; where we will be launching the <strong>Pan-African Widows body, and Proposed African Widows Agenda among others as we call for a strategic plan and actions that will address the 5 dimensional challenges encountered by African women in widowhood across legal, finance, health, education and housing through governance and allocation</strong>. I come again in humility and gratitude.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Widows have been excluded and getting funding for our project has become almost impossible. For 10 years, I have funded over 80% of this mission falling always on my children when totally runout. <strong>I</strong> <strong>have invested ALL my resources; time, talent and treasure, and I can see the beginning of inclusion</strong>.
</div>
<div>Please help me raise money for conference that will be bringing African and global stakeholders and widows representatives.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help me see the new benchmark of addressing Widows begin with value and dignity.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Help set the 10 years investment of my life for sustainability.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>A widow is someone's DAUGHTER, SISTER, AUNTIE, WIFE, MOTHER &amp; FRIEND and African Widows should not be synonymous to poverty, charity and/or a begger. Widow can no longer be used for political propaganda, merchandise and philanthropic grandiosity</strong>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>"Charity is injurious unless it helps the recipient to become independent of it"
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong><em>African women in widowhood in our communities needs access to finance, healthcare, education, and housing with functional legal policies to which is a governance action.</em></strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Support me in leading the widows the real people, to redefine their status with dignity.
</div>
<div>Donate, and share.
