About WIDOWS, AGED AND ORPHANS HOPE SUPPORT FOUNDATION

The Widows, Aged, and Orphans Hope Support Foundation was founded by Dr. (Mrs.) Olayemi Oyebanji, First Lady of Ekiti State, with a vision to uplift the most vulnerable populations in our society.

Recognizing the significant number of widows and orphans in Ekiti State, Dr. Oyebanji conceived this noble idea to provide comprehensive support and opportunities for these groups to achieve self-reliance and improved socio-economic status.

  • Counselling
