In a society where widows are often marginalized and overlooked, the Chinwe Bode-Akinwande (CBA) Foundation has emerged as a beacon of hope.

Founded to promote the support of widows and disadvantaged children, the Foundation has been dedicated to providing succor and strength to thousands of underprivileged individuals.

Since its inception in 2015, CBA Foundation has consistently engaged in outreaches, embedded under its 5-point agenda.

These outreaches have touched the lives of over 9,866 widows through women empowerment and capacity-building schemes.

Additionally, the Foundation has supported 5,585 widows through health interventions, distributed food to 12,360 underprivileged widows, reinstated 169 children in school, and financially empowered 292 widows.

Founder of the CBA Foundation, Chinwe Bode-Akinwande, has urged the government to introduce economic reforms that will help alleviate the plight of widows and the less privileged.

The Foundation’s commitment to transparency and accountability is evident in its audited books, which are up-to-date and readily available.

CBA Foundation’s impact is a testament to the power of collective responsibility.

As the Foundation continues to advocate for widows’ rights and provide sustainable support, it is clear that its work is far from over.
