Rose Josephine came to Joifoundation seeking assistance to set up a small scale business- Selling of Beans cake ( Moimoi.). She had serious financial set back due to health issues that resulted from her in- laws attack on her (while fighting to claim her husband’s properties after his demise)
Joifoundation field Officer ensured her claims were ascertained and also discovered she was living in a water logged dingy house.
With the funds available then, we gave her Our STARTER PACK (to fund the purchase of the cooking materials and ingredients) for her business to commence while she was advised to get another stream of income and she got a sweeping job.
JOI also paid for a new accommodation (relocating her from the water logged house to a decent house) which is close to her relations due to her old age.

Just before the COVID-19 lockdown in Lagos State, Nigeria in April, one of our widows called to thank us for the large quantity of beans and arri shared to them during our Benevolence Conference on the 28th of March and wished she could get some rice. But I told her the NGO was low on funds. Surprisingly, two of our anonymous donorspaid the sum of a hundred thousand into our account on the 31st of March. We went to the market that same day to purchase bags of rice and cartons of noodles for repackaging while we also called on our widows to come in by noon to pick up their food packs. Thank God we where able to meet the deadline before lockdown.
