Our Dearest Dr. Felicia Odame, Board Chairperson of Afawi, on this special day, as dawn breaks with whispers of promise, our hearts overflow with profound gratitude for the extraordinary woman who has become the very heartbeat of our mission.

You've poured your soul into Afawi as a mother to the marginalized and a warrior for the forgotten.

We remember the late nights you've spent envisioning pathways out of poverty, the tender moments holding hands with those we've empowered, and the unyielding faith that has carried us through storms, always reminding us that every child educated, every family uplifted, every dream ignited is an evidence to God's grace through you.

As we mark another year of your beautiful life, we pray with tears of joy: May the Lord, who sees every sacrifice you've made in secret, lavish you with overflowing peace, restored health, joy that dances like morning light, and breakthroughs that echo your boundless love. Like Isaiah 40:31, "Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength", may He renew yours a thousandfold.

Happy Birthday, our cherished Chairperson, mentor, and sister. Afawi and countless lives are eternally grateful. We love and celebrate you today and always.

Kicking off 2026 with impact! 🌟 Our first visit took us to Ashongman Cluster of Schools for the Empowering Girls (-WASH) Project.

We're bridging the gender gap by giving girl students equal access to education—through new sanitation facilities, hygiene education (with a focus on female needs during menstruation), and distributions of reusable sanitary pads and menstrual cups.

Every other Friday, we're back for more.

Today is Midweek, and we want to tell you about our Livelihood Project here at AFAWI.

The Livelihood Project offers workshops and training sessions in business skills, bookkeeping, commercial consultancy, and management to enhance women’s education and support the growth of their businesses. These sessions also provide valuable opportunities for women to network and exchange ideas within the women’s alliance established by AFAWI.

Additionally, women receive capital through small support credits to invest in new ventures or expand existing businesses, addressing the challenge many face due to the high costs and limited access to traditional bank accounts.

As of early 2025, AFAWI has launched a new needs assessment to identify the next group of beneficiaries. So far, 42 women in Afienya have been identified for potential inclusion in upcoming training and micro support credit phases. This proactive approach ensures that the Livelihood Project continues to address the real and evolving needs of women across regions.
