The New Era Initiative for persons with disabilities (PWD) has donated N10,000 each to ten widows living with disabilities in Abeokuta, the Ogun state capital.
The non-governmental organisation (NGO) provided the financial grant as “part of ongoing efforts to improve the lives of vulnerable people”.
Adeyinka Adekunle, chair of the organisation, emphasised how important the initiative was to providing the much-needed assistance to marginalised groups.
He urged beneficiaries to channel funds to ventures that can improve their lives.
