The Rose of Sharon Foundation (RoSF) is an NGO focused on alleviating the plight of widows and orphans. We design and execute programmes that give financial independence and educational opportunities to widows, their children and orphans.

Since inception, RoSF has empowered 970 widows – 11 of whom are in university, awarded scholarships to 1,366 widow’s children and 72 orphans. The loans to widows are interest free and the scholarships have no conditions attached. It has also provided accommodation for residential/business purposes for 82 widows. Moreover, we have provided some free healthcare checkups and free legal services to our widows with the support of other agencies. RoSF is in affiliation with Rose of Sharon Glorious Ministry International, to provide spiritual strengthening through the God we serve, give comfort and encouragement where the opportunity presents itself for the widows, their children, orphans and the neglected in our society. Our board comprises people of integrity, professional excellence and achievement. Our work is produced by faith, our labour prompted by love and endurance inspired by hope.

The way many widows are treated in Nigeria is something we can no longer ignore.

Yes, we understand that culture and tradition exist. But no culture should strip a woman of her dignity because she has lost her husband. Widowhood should never become a reason for disrespect, isolation, or inhumane treatment.

Look around you. There may be a widow in your family, your church, your neighbourhood, or your workplace. A kind word, practical support, or simply showing up can make a world of difference.

This is exactly what we are committed to at the Rose of Sharon Foundation, restoring dignity, creating opportunities, and standing with widows so they can thrive, not just survive.

Let’s be the generation that chooses compassion over stigma and support over silence.

As part of the Rose of Sharon Foundation’s Enterprise Development & Training Programme (EDTP) 2026, women were trained on how to repurpose used fabrics into handmade fans, transforming old materials into practical items with value.

Through creativity, resourcefulness, and empowerment, waste can become wealth.

What if waste could become a source of livelihood?

Through the Rose of Sharon Foundation’s Enterprise Development & Training Programme (EDTP) 2026, women were equipped with practical skills to transform discarded materials such as plastic bottles, plywood, and foam into functional household items like stools.

Beyond learning a new skill, this training is about creating opportunities. We believe that with the right skills and support, these women can turn their creativity into sustainable sources of income, build greater financial independence, and create a better future for themselves and their families.

This is what empowerment looks like, equipping women with the tools to turn what they have into what they need.
