International Widows’ Day - 23 June Yesterday was International Widows’ Day. As per the @UnitedNations , there are an estimated 258 million widows around the world, and nearly one in ten live in extreme poverty. For women living in poverty, the loss of their husbands is even bigger as they have to struggle for their basic needs, rights and dignity. Recognising this International Day’s purpose is to care for widows and their children, and to change the culture that discriminates against them. The day is important as it brings about awareness among the public the problems that widows face all over the world. It is a time to reflect on the progress that has been made, and to celebrate acts of courage and determination by ordinary women. On our founder’s #Miracle38 birthday in January, 8 Widows were invited to join us in our celebration. She spent time with them, broke bread with them and gave them gifts. She wanted to share the joy of her day with them, to bring them some happiness 💚 #InternationalWidowsDay #InternationalWidowsDay2020 ________________________________________________ Zero Hunger Ghana (#ZHG) is a non-partisan, non-profit organization contributing to the wellbeing of the #Vulnerable (mobilised beneficiaries) in society (#Ghana, West #Africa) by: * Giving them access to safe, healthy and nutritious food; reducing hunger using a proven human centered model. * Donation of water and other essential relief items * Sensitizing them on important and current issues * Empowering them to drive their own developmental agenda (Grooming community development leaders) * #Empowering other individuals to be part of impactful CommunityDevelopment * Driving projects to tackle #FoodInsecurity, promote Sustainable #FoodProvision and to empower SelfDependence * Livelihood #Empowerment - training for youths in the Community * #FoodWaste management, #FoodHygiene and Food #Nutrition training * Training in small-scale #Agriculture _______________________________________________________ A #CharisJadlen #SocialImpact Project and a #ThinkMahoganyCSR #ZeroHunger #EndHunger #EndPoverty #ZeroHungerGhana #SDG2 #FoodCrisis #SustainableFood #Widow #Widows #UnitedNations https://www.instagram.com/p/CB05kvUJv73/?igshid=1klnz36pmgas8
