RE: SUPPORT FOR WORLD WIDOWS DAY 2017: “NIGERIA’S REFLECTION”
Over 3,847,000 widows in Nigeria; often hungry, disadvantaged, insecure and living in filthy apartments NEED YOUR HELP. Their over 8 million fatherless children are seriously affected too by the trauma of their mother’s widowhood stigma. Boldness becomes a spirit they must acquire not to walk away from their pain. They seek all the help they can get from people like you and I…will your heart be moved to be their M-I-R-A-C-L-E?
SERENDIPITY HOUSE & GODS WIVES INTERNATIONAL (GWI) MANDATE:
Every Tuesday each week, third (3rd) Saturdays of every month and 4 BIG EVENTS yearly namely - February 14 tagged “Valentine’s Day Caring Hearts”; April Easter Picnic/Retreat tagged “Recovery Time”; June 23rd tagged “WORLD WIDOWS DAY” and December 13th tagged “End of Year Party” GWI fulfills its mandate to all widows under our canopy and other such organizations in Nigeria caring for widows.
Help stand for WIDOW CARE through our organization GWI.
This year, with the 7th World Widows Day; our biggest most important event which helps spread the awareness of the troubled issues of widowed women and even widowers too in our society; is fast approaching; we are financially overwhelmed as the number of widows to give and show love to each year keeps increasing.
Let’s try as usual to cover more “ashes with beauty” as we celebrate this day by uplifting these “women of grace” in a “select community”.

FINANCE: Millions of money goes into this yearly project as each year more women join GWI as 500 wives daily turn into widows according to National statistics. We need your compassionate generosity, help and support as you partner with GWI for this noble cause. "YOU ARE NEVER MORE LIKE GOD, THAN WHEN YOU GIVE & TOUCH THE HEART-BEAT OF GOD - WIDOWS".
This is why “WORLD WIDOWS DAY” is elaborately celebrated yearly with a widow’s package costing approximately N5, 000.00 (five thousand naira Only). Think of this, converted it’s that aso-ebi ankara, one (1) bottle of Regular Champagne will do 4 packages, 34.5 liters (half tank) of petrol, or DSTV monthly Compact subscription… giving makes sense when you begin to see what you spend N5, 000.00 on whatever your lifestyle!
