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.
