THE FRIENDS OF THE HOPE MINISTRY FOR WIDOWS AND ORPHANS CHARITY NUMBER 1186321 REPORT FOR THE YEAR ENDING 31 DECEMBER 2024 The Hope Ministry continues to be thankful to God for his protection and provision throughout 2024. The challenges facing the ministry have increased during the year. We are always thankful to our faithful supporters for their prayers and donations, both financial and in term5 of goods sent regularly to Nigeria. This support is vital as there is no social care system in Nigeria. Hope Ministry works in the central belt of Nigeria, particularly Plateau State and Benue State. The security situation there continues to be extremely difficult due to attacks from the north of the country, often resulting in deaths. There are many internally displaced people now in this central region. The main work of the Ministry is with widows and orphans. The micro financing scheme originally offered to widows, in order to start a business, has now become less attractive due to rising costs. Conferences for widows are held twice during the year. The ladies are encouraged and empowered to run these workshops. This allows them to contribute to the work having received help themselves. Food parcels are distributed to the elderly and those with no family. This work is vital as food prices continue to rise. The work with orphans allows a number of children to be supported through school years. Those who are academically inclined go on to university. For those who prefer to go into work, training schemes are run in skills, such as, motor mechanics, computing, woodwork. needlework, etc. Other activities include making traditional seasonings from local beans, making paint, as there are no paint shops in Nigeria, and running recycling schemes for plastic materials. Conferences for the orphans are held twice yearly. These are very helpful in 8ivin8 hope for the future and offering information on where to obtain advice. In between these events seminars are held where learning needs can be discussed.
