NIDCOM Supports Gallant Women Ability Foundation, G-WAF
Promoting self reliance with dignity,is the sum total of the Gallant
Women Ability Foundation G-WÀF as the Founder/President Olaide Awosedo
visits the Chairman/CEO Nigerians in Diaspora Commission Hon Abike
Dabiri-Erewa in Abuja.
her experience of a car accident in Nigeria in 1998 and flown to the
United Kingdom for treatment , was inspired to form the Gallant Women
Ability Foundation G- WAF a Non Governmental Organisation (NGO) saddled
with the responsibility of caring for the physically challenged women
and children, and promoting independent living and self reliance.
Olaide Awosedo mantains that there is near absence of infrastructure
facilities in place in Nigeria for the physically challenged hence her
passion to launch the Gallant Women Ability Foundation later in the
month and hopes to work with NIDCOM and other stakeholders in attaining
a state of equity and rights of women and children with disabilities.
The NIDCOM Boss Hon Abike Dabiri-Erewa was pleased with the initiative,
and commended her efforts in giving back to society as a good Diaspora
Ambassador.
Hon Dabiri-Erewa stressed the need for others to emulate Olaide and
promised to liaise with other government agencies particularly National
Commission for persons with Disabilities and the Ministry of Women
Affairs to promote the good course.
G-WAF was founded in 2018 mainly to promote, protect and ensure the full
and equal enjoyment of all human rights and fundamental freedoms by all
women with disability, less privileged children and the elderly.
