Dear Donors,
Thank you for supporting this important project to provide 200 elderly women in rural Nigeria with safe and comfortable sleeping arrangements. Your support helps restore dignity and improve health for women who often lack basic resources.
Many elderly women in low-income communities sleep on bare floors or worn-out mats, leading to body pain, poor rest, and worsened chronic conditions. Poverty, neglect, and lack of family support leave them unable to afford simple necessities like beds, mattresses, or bedding.
This project provides beds, mattresses, pillows, sheets, and mosquito nets to 200 women, ensuring they can sleep comfortably and safely. Better rest improves physical health, reduces illness risk, and enhances overall well-being, giving these women peace of mind and dignity in daily life.
Over time, improved sleep quality will reduce pain, stress, and susceptibility to disease, while fostering respect and care for the elderly in their communities. By addressing this basic need, the project strengthens community support and the quality of life for aging women.
At this stage, donations received are not yet enough to begin implementation. We remain hopeful that with continued support, we can provide these women with the comfort and dignity they deserve.
With thanks,
Joy Ojochogwu Etubi
