Funmi Ogundare

The Hauwanat Gafure Charity, a non-profit organisation , is providing critical support for indigent women and children in rural communities through trauma management, counseling, and educational assistance.
Established in May 2023 by Dr. Shade Vivian Adeyemi, the organisation is dedicated to helping single and widowed mothers as well as children facing socio-economic challenges. Its programs focus on trauma recovery, remedial and reformatory counseling, and building coping mechanisms for bereavement, single parenthood, and poverty-related struggles.
Speaking at a program held recently, at Otan Ayegbaju, Boluwaduro LGA in Osun State, Dr. Adeyemi explained that Hauwanat Gafure Charity seeks to touch lives and provide reasons for people to want to be better.
She expressed appreciation to partners and supporters who have contributed to the organisation’s efforts, noting that many beneficiaries are already doing better emotionally and striving to improve their lives.
As part of its intervention, the charity, she noted, provides small start-up capital to indigent single and widowed mothers, enabling them to begin or strengthen their businesses, adding that children in rural communities also benefit from learning materials such as school bags, books, writing materials, water bottles, shoes, and other essential items.
“Beyond financial and material aid, the organisation offers training in resiliency skills and self-management techniques to help beneficiaries cope with daily challenges and improve academic motivation and performance among rural children,” the founder stated adding,” since its inception, Hauwanat Gafure Charity has grown into a beacon of hope for many families, with beneficiaries beginning to rebuild their lives and contribute positively to their communities.

    The Sahara Centre Launches Mangrove Sessions to Spark Dialogue Through Film, Literature

    The Sahara Centre has unveiled a new initiative titled Mangrove Sessions, a monthly series designed to foster critical engagement through film, literature, and creative storytelling. The program aims to explore how cultural narratives can shape public thought and inspire sustainable change across African communities.

    The inaugural session, scheduled for Saturday, October 4th, will be hosted in collaboration with Yenwa Gallery. It will feature the screening of two films that delve into the relationship between people and the natural world, highlighting how communities derive identity and resilience from their environments. A guided conversation will follow, focusing on how nature’s lessons can inform sustainable development practices.

    “We are using film as a starting point for the conversations our society needs to have,” said Dr. Adun Okupe, Executive Director of The Sahara Centre. “Each film we select connects to real challenges we face, and opens up space to ideate around how we live and build systems in our communities. The films we are screening this year reflect our ongoing work to centre indigenous knowledge as a strategy for Africa’s future.”

    Led by newly appointed TSC Fellow Lanre Olupona, a filmmaker and founder of Motioniere Studios, the sessions will emphasize small-group dialogue and reflection. Olupona’s work spans directing, cinematography, and documentary curation, with a focus on how stories shape collective understanding. His leadership signals the Centre’s commitment to cultivating voices that contribute to Africa’s cultural and intellectual future.

    As part of the initiative, The Sahara Centre will curate an archive of influential films, books, and documentaries that have shaped the thinking of prominent Nigerians and Africans. These works will feature in future sessions, with authors, directors, and curators invited to share personal insights on how these pieces have informed their perspectives.

    “The Yenwa Art Lab is committed to celebrating culture while fostering dialogue that connects our heritage to contemporary issues,” said Ugonna Ibe Ejiogu, Artistic Director of Yenwa Art Lab. “Partnering with The Sahara Centre on the Mangrove Sessions aligns perfectly with our mission to use culture as a catalyst for reflection, learning, and innovation.”

    Upcoming sessions will explore themes such as intergenerational storytelling, matriarchy, resilience, traditional healing and wellbeing, and cultural innovation. The Sahara Centre also plans to release curated reading and viewing lists to accompany each theme, further enriching the experience for participants.

    With Mangrove Sessions, The Sahara Centre continues its mission to empower communities by transforming indigenous knowledge into practical tools for societal change.
