In many parts of Nigeria, widows are left to carry an unbearable burden. Stripped of their husbands, they are often abandoned by family and overlooked by society.
Many face harsh cultural stigmas that deprive them of inheritance and rob them of dignity. Without steady income, access to healthcare, or even a daily meal, countless widows battle financial inability in silence.
For many, survival means going without food, living in dilapidated homes, or struggling to raise children and grandchildren with no support.
