About Living Afresh Foundation

Living Afresh Foundation (LAF) is a non-governmental organization committed to deploying targeted, empathic interventions to enable individuals who have lost their spouses to move beyond their current circumstances to offering similar support to others.

 

Living Afresh Foundation (LAF) was established in 2020 after two years of informal, active interventions in the lives of our pioneer network of women who had lost their spouses. We have carried out interventions to beneficiaries across various states in Nigeria including Lagos, Enugu, Akwa-Ibom, Cross Rivers, Abuja, and we are continuously expanding our services to reach more beneficiaries across more locations.

Hear from our beneficiaries

Some of those who have been a part of the program share their inspiring stories below:

“I lost my husband and his family stripped off everything, I thought it was all over for me because I lost all hope of getting back on my feet. Being a young widow coping with 3 children was hell for me. I didn't know where to start from until I received a call from Pastor Jerome. When I got to the venue, I was awe struck at what I saw. When I thought it was over, I was empowered. ”

Blessing Adeyemi,
FCT, Financial/Business Management

“Raising my children without a father was not easy. And I didn't have a steady job, all I did was small small jobs which could hardly feed us. Then I met Pastor Jerome, which was used as an instrument for the empowerment. At first, I thought it was a scam, because I have been called for some widow's empowerment in the past which turned out to be a scam.But with Living Afresh Foundation it is different, I just want to say thank you for changing my story. ”

Esther Effiong Edem,

“My mouth can not explain how grateful I am to this organization (Living Afresh Foundation). Since the death of my husband, they have been zero financial support. But since the empowerment, I can say that the lord has enhanced the work of my hands. Thanks to Living Afresh Foundation. ”
