I met Joy begging in Abuja one night with her baby. I asked her why, she doesn’t look like someone that has to beg. Joy is from Benin in South West Nigeria. Her story is so typical it could be the story of every Nigerian woman. Her husband abandoned her with 3 children and a fourth one on the way. Listen to her story. You will cry.

She’s not posh, or educated, she sounds more like a bad Nollywood script sometimes but she is the average Nigerian woman, the uneducated, urban dwelling women who struggle to raise children and keep their husbands by their side each day.

    Hi Lesley,

    Appreciate your call yesterday. I’ll be expecting your mail as discussed.

    I want to help Joy’s son stay in school.the one who wants to be a Dr. Love her spirit. I am willing to contribute regularly towards his education specifically. Could you tell me more about him please. His name, school, academic performance, cost of current school fees. So I can see how I can reasonably support him.

    Thank you for sharing her story, God bless. Florence.

    such amazing Grace…!
