My initiative is known as Come Together Widows and Orphans Organization ( www.cometogewoo.org) I'm looking for support to start green groceries businesses for 100 Widows.
Here is my brief Journey
I'm the founder of this organization out of my personal experience that left me as a young Widow because of Domestic Violence when my husband decided to turn his sword on me and out children one night. When his attempt to murder us failed he turned the sword to himself and killed himself.
By this time had been rescued and had been taken to hospital. I learnt about his death while in hospital.
I was accused of his murder, my in-laws broke into my house and carried away everything. I and my children were neglected. I lost everything including my daughters clothes just because I was a mother to girls no one cared, I was told I had not given birth ; girls are not children 😭😭😭. It was so painful.
I had to start life from scratch once again. Sleeping on the floor, I lost my job, I was taken to court to be charged with Murder I surely knew nothing about........(To be continued)
