Our work in Owo is basically women skills acquisition programme and The food bank. But, when we deliver foodstuffs and see the living conditions of these elderly women.....it moves me towards just making a little difference in their lives.   So two week ago, when we got to deliver foodstuffs at Madam Tola's house and saw her living in ruins, I wept.   I posted her pictures on Facebook and appealed to my friends to help me. We were able to raise some money and helped her to build  a room.   We did not stop at that, we bought her a bedframe, mattress, bedsheets and kitchen utensils.    When my younger sister saw how dirty and miserable when looked. She sent enough Money to me to change her wardrobe.    Madam Tola had lost all her four children and she is a widow.   Transformation changed her life.   ATTACHED are pictures of her house and self and also the new pictures of Mama Tola now.
