Last week, in partnership with Beacon Of Hope Initiative, we successfully hosted a 3-day trauma healing session (11th-13th Feb.) and a 1-day (16th Feb.) economic empowerment program for 30 widows in Jebbu Miango community.
Our trauma healing sessions provided a supportive environment for selected widows to process their grief and find a safe space for emotional release. For many, the path to healing had been blocked. some were never granted the privilege to mourn due to the circumstances of their loss, while others lacked closure because they never saw the remains of their spouses.
The depth of this impact was best captured when one widow shared, “If you do not give me any material thing, this session of healing is more than enough for me.” We are grateful for the profound healing witnessed during this time, reinforcing that restoring the spirit is as essential as any material aid.
The widows also received training and financial assistance to help them start small businesses to support themselves and their families.
At Claire Aid Foundation, we remain committed to ensuring that healing and dignity are at the forefront of every intervention we lead in Plateau State.
