5.1 To promote and advance the rights of widows in Africa (as set out in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights; African Charter on Human and Peoples Rights and subsequent United Nations conventions and declarations) with a view to campaign against violence, discrimination, inhuman, degrading and atrocious widowhood practices being meted out on indigent women and their dependants after the death of their husbands; and to assist and support individuals or families of victims of widowhood practices residing in Scotland or elsewhere in the United Kingdom by all or any of the following means:
Organising sensitization programmes to draw attention to widowhood practices
Raising awareness on the existence of domestic and international laws protecting the rights of women
Providing legal aid and advice to poor widows, their dependants and young people in other to obtain redress, and punishment for offenders
Build synergy with sister organisation(s) and public institutions to empower widows through skill acquisition training, financial grants and access to adequate healthcare, decent work, full participation in decision-making and public life for a chance to build a secure life after bereavement
5.2 To prevent poverty and provide succour to the impoverished children of widows and young people who in most cases are the sufferers and end-losers of cruel widowhood practices (in accordance with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child) by all or any of the following means:
Supporting and promoting sports activities to deepen societal and communal relations, especially among the victims of this ugly practice into communities that hitherto abhorred and rejected them

Providing infrastructures for education to achieve quality learning and productive outcomes, and where necessary partner with other organisation(s) and spirited individual(s) to provide training which will enable individuals to generate sustainable income and be self-sufficient
Raise awareness on the potential dangers of economic migration and the activities of people-smugglers, who lure young people, women and children into perilous journey on the Mediterranean Sea to Europe and America with their lives at stake
Supporting research undertakings into factors that contribute to poverty and the most appropriate ways to mitigate these
Organizing youth mentorship programmes for victims of anti-social practice, on the avalanche of opportunities available to them through skills and vocational training
Collaborate with governments at different level to draw attention to the importance of sustainable development—through promotion, preservation, conservation and protection of the environment as a veritable tool in improving the life in socially and economically disadvantaged communities

The charity promotes human rights, in the context of creating awareness and understanding, and tackling poverty which is behind exponential increase in economic migration from Sub-Saharan African through illegal routes to Europe and United Kingdom.

From 09 March 2026, OSCR is required by law to publish the names of a charity’s trustees as part of its Scottish Charity Register entry. We are also required to publish each charity’s annual report and accounts as received from this date, which may include the names of certain individuals. The only exceptions to publication are where a charity or one of its charity trustees applies for this information to be excluded, and OSCR is satisfied that publishing it would jeopardise the safety or security of a person or premises.
If the charity trustee information on a Register entry appears blank, this may mean that an exemption applies or that the charity has not yet provided the required details to OSCR. Supplying this information will become mandatory as part of future annual submissions. |
