Youth Inclusive Initiative, Empowers Widows in Ila Federal Constituency

It was a bright and beautiful day in Osun yesterday 17th December 2021 when the biggest empowerment ever happened to residents of the Ila-Orangun/Boluwaduro/Ifedayo Federal constituency of the state.

Adeniyi Oluwatosin Ismail, the National Coordinator of Youth Inclusive Initiative and his team held the first Widows Empowerment Program (WEP) in the Ila-Orangun/Boluwaduro/Ifedayo Federal constituency. The WEP being the very first of its kind it the whole of the Federal constituency.

In line with Sustainable Development Goal 2: Zero Hunger, the team has realized that there is so much hunger amidst our widows and we have vowed to end that before first quarter of 2022. Like the first of its kind that saw to the feeding of 550 widows in Ila Orangun and 300 in Boluwaduro and 300 in Ifedayo, the team will see to it that food is frequently provided to Widows in the Ila-Orangun/Boluwaduro/Ifedayo Federal constituency. Not only Widows, but also women and children will be catered for subsequently.

Our focus on women is bourne out of the crucial roles they have been playing during the elections in the Constituency. There turn out and doggedness during elections is always second to non. Feeding them and leaving their children out is however not our mission. said the Convener.
