"The JOF didn't just give me aid, they restored my human dignity."
After losing my husband, I was left with three young children and no income. Land rights were taken, and we faced eviction. Through JOF's legal advocacy and a ₦75,000 tailoring grant, I built a flourishing garment business. Today, all my children are in school, and I mentor 10 other widows.
I sold vegetables from a wheelbarrow just to feed my family. With a ₦50,000 micro-grant and business training from JOF, I now run a stall that supplies three local restaurants. I've since helped two other widows in my market set up their own stalls.
After my husband passed, a chronic illness left untreated for months nearly cost me my life. JOF's healthcare program covered my treatment and connected me to a grief counselor. I'm healthy again, and now volunteer at their quarterly medical clinics.
