ECN Foundation Empowers Fifty Widows in Lagos Outreach
On August 2, 2025, the Emmanuel Chinenyeaka Ngwaogu Foundation (ECN Foundation), a subsidiary of ECN Global Ventures Limited, hosted a life-changing outreach program for widows at AP College, Ejigbo Local Government Area, Lagos State.
The event brought together 50 widows, who benefited from the foundation’s support through free medical checkups, essential food items, cash tokens, and vouchers for prescription eyeglasses.
The program was chaired by Hon. Grace Nwankwo Okere and drew participation from ECN Foundation members across Nigeria, including Abuja, Ibadan, Osun, and Lagos, showcasing the organization’s growing commitment to uplifting vulnerable communities.
Speaking at the event, Mrs. Uchechi Ngwaogu, Vice President of the ECN Foundation, shared the inspiring story behind the initiative.
“The Emmanuel Chinenyeaka Ngwaogu Foundation was not born out of abundance,” Mrs. Ngwaogu said. “It was born from the ashes of real-life experiences of lack, struggle, and silent prayers. The Ngwaogu family has known what it feels like to have little, to worry, and to not know where help would come from. But through God’s grace, hard work, and persistence, they rose — and made a vow: ‘If God blesses us, we will become a blessing to others.’”
She explained that the ECN Foundation has, for over four years, carried out numerous outreach projects:
• Paying hospital bills for patients in need,
• Supporting schools for children with disabilities,
• Offering scholarships,
• Providing food, clothing, and encouragement to the homeless,
The foundation, she noted, now has branches in Osun, Oyo, Abuja, and Lagos, as well as ECN Support in Toronto, Canada — expanding its mission of compassion and empowerment both locally and internationally.
Saturday’s outreach focused on widows, described by Mrs. Ngwaogu as “strong, resilient women who have carried heavy burdens, often in silence.”
*“This outreach is for you,” she told them. “To let you know you are not alone. To remind you that you are loved. And to support you not just with words, but with action.”
The widows expressed heartfelt gratitude, praising the foundation for restoring hope and dignity.
Health professionals present also provided valuable medical advice, stressing the importance of regular checkups to improve their well-being.
The outreach marks another milestone for ECN Foundation, which continues to grow as a beacon of hope for the vulnerable, touching lives across Nigeria and beyond.
