LAF: Uplifting the lives of individuals who have lost a spouse through eight critical intervention areas.
Connecting beneficiaries to support, services and advocacy to improve their lives
Living Afresh Foundation (LAF) was formally incorporated in 2020 after two years of informal, active interventions in the lives of our pioneer network of over 100 individuals. To date our Foundation has uplifted over 300 individuals across three regions in Nigeria. We are determined to accelerate our efforts and keep expanding our reach in order to provide succor to a critical mass within the shortest possible time.
Our interventions so far indicate that majority of beneficiaries are between the age range of 35-55 years. This confirms National
Statistics on the target group. It is therefore not surprising that the most recurrent challenges highlighted by our beneficiaries
include financial/economic hardship, lack of educational support for children, absence of spouse’s will resulting in loss of assets
to relatives of the deceased, loneliness & depression, lack of role models & mentors for the children, poor housing,
stigmatization, high level vulnerability to various forms of harassment, etc.
We are very mindful of these challenges and have carefully developed culturally and socially appropriate interventions that are
targeted, impactful and sustainable.
Vision, Mission, Core Values
Our Mission is to build a network of like-minded individuals and organizations dedicated to helping LAF beneficiaries alleviate the multifacetted challenges associated with losing a spouse.
Core Values: Transparency | Confidentiality | Respect | Compassion | Courage
How we operate
Below is a general description of our mode of operations, mainly anchored on three pillars of Focused Group, Data Gathering, Monitoring.
Focused Intervention
Our work remains focused on individuals who fall within the target group mentioned previously. Beneficiaries are nominated to our programs by individuals or organizations through a rigorous verification process established by LAF.
Data Gathering
Pre- and post-intervention questionnaire are administered to first establish a baseline condition/situation and thereafter verify impact of each specific intervention.
Monitoring
Furthermore, ongoing monitoring enables our foundation to remain closely linked to our beneficiaries in ways that ensure healthy, supportive and sustainable outcomes.
