A group known as VONHERA Foundation, has empowered over 1000 widows in Abia State with improved varieties of farm seedlings, cassava stems, corns, fertilizer and other farm inputs ahead of this year’s farming season.
The Foundation also distributed food items, wrappers and other empowerment items to the widows to improve their living standard.
Distributing the items to the mammoth crowd of widows at Ubakala, Umuahia South, Founder of the Foundation, Mrs. Rosemary Asiegbu, said the gesture was borne out of her passion for the widow who are often marginalized and oppressed by society.
