Save Our Needy Fights Poverty By Empowering Marginalized Women

When a woman is economically empowered, she has the ability to lift her whole family out of poverty. Through the SON Women Entrepreneurship Program, Save Our Needy is assisting marginalized and vulnerable women become self-sufficient. The women are given material and/or financial donations to start their own small businesses or boost their small businesses. We believe that an empowered woman will be able to educate, protect and provide better health services for her children.
 
Mrs. Nwabueze recently benefitted from this Program as Save Our Needy donated clothes (men and women clothing) and shoes for her to boost her small business of selling gently used clothes.
Mrs. Nwabueze is a widow with 3 children who has been facing financial difficulties even before she lost her husband 3 years ago due to a long-standing illness. She was very grateful for the items received.

Mama Aliya (as she's fondly called) also recently got financial donation from Save Our Needy to boost her small business. She was given gifts for herself and her 5 children to make them happy. A struggling young mother, Mama Aliya has been the breadwinner in her home for more than 5 years now. She was very grateful for the help she got from us.

YES; SON's New Partner

Your Essential Store (YES)  just became our new partner! We're grateful to God for starting the year on a good note.

Food items, toiletries and other basic necessities were donated to S.O.N last Friday, February 27th 2015. This is the beginning of a fruitful partnership.

These items will be distributed to beneficiaries of our projects geared towards poverty alleviation.

Thank you to the management of YES (located on 21 road Festac Town and Ikorodu, Lagos) for believing in our dream of making the world a better place for the disadvantaged; one child at a time.

Save Our Needy celebrates Project Happy Day with orphans in Ajegunle, Lagos.

In our own little way, we have once again reached out to orphans and needy children. 

More than 100 vulnerable children including children from Chosen Child Orphanage and Care Center located in Ajegunle, a disadvantaged neighborhood in Lagos State, Nigeria, benefited from "Project Happy Day" last Friday, November 21st 2014.

The SON team was warmly received by Mrs. Louisa Ayuba, the caregiver of Chosen Child Orphanage. All the lovely kids had smiles on their faces throughout the event as they were given food items, clothes, toiletries and toys by the Save Our Needy team.

A very big and sincere "Thank You" from the bottom of our hearts to the wonderful donors (who wish to remain anonymous) who generously contributed to the success of this project. You are indeed beautiful inside and outside. We thank you for your unquantifiable support and encouragement.

Remember "God loves a cheerful giver" and "givers never lack."

Visit To Voice Of Salvation Motherless Babies Home

Our visit to Voice of Salvation Motherless Babies Home in the local community of Ojo, Lagos State, opened our eyes to the plight of orphans and abandoned children in Africa, especially in Nigeria.

During this very fruitful and enriching visit, vulnerable children between the ages of 1 and 10 benefited from various items including food items, clothes, footwear, buckets, plates, toiletries and schoolbags donated by Save Our Needy. 

This visit gave us first-hand knowledge of the hardship and suffering faced by these children. Their caregiver, Mr.Onyeagu explained to us how difficult it has been to care for these children. They have pressing  financial issues: they need funds for kerosene to cook, send the children to school, buy books, get medical care for the children, repair their generating sets (to get light when power fails) and even fuel to keep their generating sets going. Please donate to a worthy cause. These children need our love and support in order to become useful citizens and responsible adults tomorrow. 

We would like to thank Mr. Andrew Akindele,( Systems Manager, State of Ohio, USA), for his generous donation to this project. Thank you very much, sir. May the good Lord reward you immensely for putting smiles on the faces of the little ones.

Our sincere gratitude also goes to Mr. Hamdi Zaghbib,(2012 President of JCI Metline, Tunisia) for his contribution to the purchase of the schoolbags.
