Oluyinka Adewoye Celebrates Christmas With Widows

As the nation’s economy continues to bite harder by the day and many families find it difficult to feed, Oluyinka Adewoye, the beautiful woman behind the Lawrence Grace Foundation, will today put smiles on the faces of over 300 widows around Lagos.

As gathered by Society Watch, she chose this  Yuletide season to wipe tears from the faces of the widows by giving out food items to many.

Oluyinka, who has carved a niche for herself through dint of hard work and selfless services to humanity, said the annual event was designed to identify with widows and their children, as well as indigent school children in the society.

The event, which will attract dignitaries from all walks of life, will be held at the Centre For Management Development, Magodo area of Lagos.

Adewoye stressed that the multi-award-winning group takes an interest in widows because many of them face extreme poverty, discrimination and dehumanisation.

As revealed, her desire is for the children of the widows to fulfil a purposeful life and be great in order to impact their families and generation at large.’

Lawrence Grace Foundation was founded primarily to touch lives positively, reaching out to majorly widows and indigent school children in less privileged societies by providing healthcare, free medication, empowerment programmes and gifts to support them in their livelihood.

 She has taken the foundation to several local governments in Lagos and outside Lagos in the last four years, all intending to alleviate their level of poverty and empowerment for the widows.

 “Today is a special day to celebrate and put smiles on the faces of over 300 widows from various communities in Lagos. We have nine LCDAs across Lagos represented here: Agiliti CDA, Masha Small London CDA, Oshodi-Isolo CDA, Bariga CDA, Ifelodun/Unity CDA, Makoko CDA, Ikosi CDA, Odiolowo Ojuwoye CDA with their widows,” Oluyinka Adewoye said.
