According to the (UN Women, 2018), “The loss of a partner is devastating. For many women, that loss is magnified by a long-term struggle for basic needs, their human rights and dignity. They may be denied inheritance rights to the piece of land that they relied on for livelihood or evicted from their homes, forced into unwanted marriages or traumatizing widowhood rituals. They are stigmatized for life, shunned and shamed. And, many of these abuses go unnoticed, even normalized.”

The Chenwi’s Smile Foundation is the fruit of a personal initiative of Mme. CHENWI CAROLINE which started timidly back in August 2016. She saw how sharing her widow`s mite with societal have-nots could actually be life changing.

The Foundation currently supports  over 150 (one hundred and fifty) widows and 170 (one hundred and seventy) orphans.Top of FormBottom of Form

The main of the CSF  is to empower the disadvantaged widows and orphans socially and economically to alleviate extreme poverty amongst them, enhance their capabilities,  and help them live a self-reliant  and autonomous life.
