The Albino Foundation Public Notice
A non-governmental organization, EFSTA Foundation, has empowered over 200 widows, people with disabilities, and the elderly in Lagos State through entrepreneurial skill training, cash grants, and palliatives.
The event, themed “The Anchor of Hope,” was held at First Choice Multipurpose Hall, Ijaiye-Ojokoro. It featured workshops on making Zobo and Kunu beverages, distribution of palliatives such as food items and household essentials, and cash support to help beneficiaries establish small-scale businesses and achieve financial independence.
Speaking at the event, the foundation’s chairperson, Pastor Mrs. Elizabeth Adetiba, emphasised the annual program’s focus on equipping participants with sustainable income-generating skills.
“We hold this summit for the motherless, fatherless, and vulnerable in society. As a widow myself, I understand the struggles. Four years ago, I decided to start this initiative in my little way to bring hope and empowerment,” she said.
Adetiba noted that past programs had focused on soap-making, and some participants had already turned the skill into a source of income.
“This year, we are teaching Zobo and Kunu making, which can be started with as little as 5,000 Naira,” she added.
“With 1,500 Naira for Zobo and 3,000 Naira for Kunu, anyone can start and make a profit to support themselves,” the facilitator explained.
The event also included free medical checkups, with attendees encouraged to prioritize regular health screenings to prevent unforeseen illnesses.
