Helpline Social Support Initiative

In commemoration of International Widows’ Day 2025, Helpline Social Support Initiative (HSSI) hosted a transformative event themed "Empowering Widows: Building Resilience, Restoring Dignity" on Sunday, 22nd June, 2025.

It was an impactful day dedicated to recognizing the strength and struggles of widows, while advancing efforts that promote their well-being, financial independence, and social inclusion.

A heartfelt appreciation to the Honorable Minister of Women Affairs, Hajiya Imaan Sulaiman-Ibrahim, for her tremendous support. Her generous cash gifts to each women cluster have provided vital resources for skill acquisition and financial empowerment.

We are also deeply grateful to the FCT Health Insurance Scheme and its Ag.Director, Dr. Salamatu Belgore, who, along with her team, enrolled all participating widows into the free health insurance scheme, ensuring access to quality healthcare.

Special thanks to all friends and partners of the Helpline Social Support Initiative President, Dr. Jumai Ahmadu, whose unwavering support made this event a true success.

In celebration of International Women's Day, Helpline Social Support Initiative is proud to launch its Skill Acquisition Centre for women in Bwari Area Council, FCT, Abuja.
Thanks to RTA Foundation for their invaluable support in making this dream a reality.
