“If you pour yourself out for the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday” – Isaiah 58:10

This biblical verse aptly captures the generous spirit of Oluyinka Adewoye.

Over the years, she has consistently satisfied the needs of hundreds of souls through her foundation, LawrenceGrace.

At its quarterly events for widows, the foundation recently provided free medical consultation and medications, free empowerment training, free health talk, and free gifts of food items to cushion the effects of hardship for over 130 widows in the Ojora community in Lagos State.

Tagged ‘Day out with Ojota Community women,’ Adewoye, in her remarks, said the LawrenceGrace Foundation is founded primarily to touch lives positively, reaching out to widows and indigent school children in less-privileged societies by providing healthcare, free medications, empowerment programs and gifts to support their livelihoods.

She also revealed that the foundation has been to several local governments in Lagos and outside Lagos in the last five years, all to alleviate poverty and empower the widows.

“We count it worthy to hold this event in this community this season as a result of the economic hardships and lack of good healthcare a lot of widows are faced with,” she said. “To empower them with training that can become a source of livelihood, they would be trained on how to make soaps and various healthy drinks for commercial purposes.”

She reiterated that the foundation is committed to putting “smiles on the faces of the less privileged and impact them positively.”
