Empowering Widows, Enriching Lives
The Impact of Vocational Training and Micro Grants. Widowhood can be a challenging and transformative experience for many women, especially in developing countries like Nigeria.
NEW CHANCE GLOBAL INITIATIVE (NCGI) was founded and registered in the year 2018 with focus solely on the elderly, widows, widowers, and other vulnerable groups in Nigeria. Our project has been geared towards providing support to vulnerable people (through feeding program, donations of walking aids, physical wellbeing, education and empowerment) using local initiatives through the implementation of policies and programmes that promote improved living standard.
New Chance Global Initiative was born from a deep, enduring desire to lend a helping hand and bring joy to those in need. Over time, we recognized that this work is not only our purpose but also a calling a God given gift that brings us profound and immeasurable fulfillment. Helping others is truly what we do best. The story of New Chance Global Initiative is one of inspiration, resilience, and compassion. Our commitment to brightening lives and creating positive change has always been at the heart of our mission, driving us to be a force for good in our communities.
