Though West Child is in its initial phase in Nigeria, we've established strong educational programs and support networks for widows and children. Our achievements include the launch of educational workshops, scholarship provisions, and the commencement of the Widow's Wings Network to support the socio-economic upliftment of widows.
West Child was inspired by the vision to empower and uplift the lives of children and widows in Western Africa through education and advocacy. The "West" in our name represents our geographical focus and commitment to the communities in this region. The "Child" aspect speaks to the innocence and potential of every individual we support, reflecting our belief that inside every adult is the spirit of their childhood dreams waiting to be rekindled and fulfilled. Our founder's personal journey and encounters with the resilient widows and hopeful children of West Africa ignited the passion to establish this organization, transforming compassion into action for a brighter future.
