The widows were given word of exaltation and taken through a prayer session, as the visioner believes only God can comfort the women and effectively meet their needs.

Gift packs made up of food items, clothing, shoes and books including cash were given to the women, as they also went through some basic medical checks, and health talks in a bid to maintain optimal health.

Based in the United States of America, the foundation is very passionate about impacting the lives of the less privileged in Nigeria.

The foundation looks forward to training and retraining the women through skills acquisition, access to soft loans and business empowerment in the near future.
