The Widows Gallery – Voices Reclaimed (Edition 18)
This eighteenth edition of The Widows Gallery – Voices Reclaimed is themed around giving widows and the disabled a voice and a place in society once again. Organized by Emmanuel Ekeji Care Foundation Worldwide, the event will include empowerment workshops, cash disbursements, and food relief packages for widows. A free medical outreach will address urgent healthcare needs, and wheelchair distribution will ensure accessibility for persons with mobility issues. Together, we rise, restore, and reclaim hope.
“Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves.” – Proverbs 31:8
In societies where widowhood often silences women, the Emmanuel Ekeji Care Foundation (EECF) is amplifying their voices, restoring their confidence, and rewriting their stories.
The Widows Gallery – Voices Reclaimed (Edition 18) is a powerful testament to courage, resilience, and the transformative power of opportunity. This edition features 15 remarkable widows who have broken free from societal shadows to become advocates, entrepreneurs, and community leaders.
Their journeys prove that when a woman’s voice is reclaimed, she doesn’t just change her own life—she transforms entire communities.
EECF’s Voices Reclaimed Program empowers through:
✅ Leadership training – Public speaking, advocacy, and rights education
✅ Digital literacy – Using technology for business and connection
✅ Support circles – Safe spaces for storytelling and healing
✅ Economic megaphones – Turning their skills into visible enterprises
This edition documents how microloans, education, and sisterhood turn whispers into roars.

The Ripple Effect of One Voice
When Mrs. Kemi (Edition 17) spoke at a Lagos women’s summit last year, she inspired a policymaker to draft new widow protection laws. When Mama Taiwo’s viral market video caught a philanthropist’s eye, it funded six more businesses.
This is the power of reclaimed voices—they don’t just speak; they spark movements.
“Give her the reward she has earned, and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.” – Proverbs 31:31
