To further improve the daily lives of indigent rural women and widows, Felix King Foundation has announced the “Helo Mama” initiative that comes with mobile phones for widows and phone charging stations for women in rural communities.
The Founder and President of the Foundation, Dr. Felix King stated that the initiative is a support scheme that would help the impoverished rural women and widows in the area gain access to mobile telephony as well as ensure that they can stay connected by charging their mobile phones without stress.
He said, “We are projecting to cover over 20 communities before the end of the year. This would go a long way in solving communication challenges associated with rural areas in Esanland. This is our little effort to make these needy women improve on endeavors as well as keep them talking.” With this new development, the average life of rural dwellers in Esan land has changed forever. The era of financial transaction deception to these women has ended because they will see life in real-time situations. Their business would improve and that would impact their daily activities, stated one of the residents of the community.
The foundation has inaugurated programmes such as better life for rural African widows, widows’ Market moni, help project, advocacy project, rural women cooperative schemes, and scholarship schemes for widows’ children among many others.
