Dr. Ada Okeke Amam, founder of AFI, said the initiative was aimed at supporting widows and those facing economic hardship.
“Annually, we reach out to the widows and the less privileged, focusing on their health first and then providing essential items to make life easier for them,” she said.
The foundation, which is known for its humanitarian work across communities, also focuses on raising awareness about the challenges facing widows, particularly during the holiday season.
Princess Amam said the theme of this year’s outreach is: “Fight the Good Fight of Faith,” adding that faith was essential in overcoming life’s difficulties.
She urged the government and non-governmental organisations to increase their support for widows and vulnerable individuals, particularly those with children.
