How Zarephath Outreach Is Putting Smile on Face of Widows In Nigeria
From time immemorial widows will never ceased to be in our society and it is very important to extend helping hands to this set of people.
It is in this light that one woman has taken it upon herself to reach out to widows in Nigeria. The rare gem is the President, Zarephath widows outreach foundation, Apostle E. E. Oborevwori, ACIPM, SPHRi who is a human resources management consultant by profession.
In an exclusive chat with www.totorinews.com , Apostle Eunice Emetegirevwe Oborevwori revealed how her journey began into putting smiles on the faces of widows in Nigeria.
According to her she never thought of setting up a widows foundation outreach not until she became a widow herself sometime in 2020 same year she was ordained as an Apostle even though she has been involved in supporting ministers on God and the less privileged in the society.
“Few months after i lost my husband, the Lord kept telling me to give up my luxurious apartments to critical widows in need of accommodation for free, i had no choice but to obey the voice of God and that gave birth to Zarephath widows outreach foundation,” Apostle Oborevwori told www.totorinews.com.
She revealed further that it is not really easy to support widows and the less privileged in the society, but God has been her great pillar of support.
“90% of the programs are solely financed by me. I look forward to getting partners with corporate bodies and wealthy Nigerian individuals to help put smiles on the faces of the less privileged, most especially widows who are very vulnerable in our society,” she said.
“The less privileged and widows in our society needs the support of the local government, state government and the federal government of Nigeria,” she added.
Zarephat widows outreach foundation office is located at Goshen House,
3, Ogunlana street, inside Olive Garden Estate (Rd 2) Ogombo, Ibeju Lekki Lagos. The foundation can also be reached on www.zarephath-goshen.com.

Joel Ajayi
The Minister of Art, Culture, Tourism, and Creative Economy, Hannatu Musa Musawa, has emphasized the importance of empowering Nigeria as a gateway country to the black global community, highlighting the UAE’s support in achieving this goal.
The Minister made this known in Abuja on Wednesday when she met with the United Arab Emirates’ ambassador to Nigeria H.E. Salem Saeed Musabbeh Al Mahyoub Al Shamsi, to discuss ways to strengthen tourism and cultural ties between the two countries.
She congratulated Sheikha, the Secretary-General of the UN Tourism, on her historic appointment as the first female Secretary-General, noting that she is opening doors for women, inclusivity, and the power of the global south.
“It is very important for us now, as a country and as a gateway country to the black global community, to empower ourselves in a way that gives us a certain level of independence. Tourism now is power.
“We all know the importance of Tourism globally but we need to have a more curative relationship with the United Arab Emirates. We want to empower ourselves in a way that gives us a certain level of independence,” Minister Musawa said.
Minister Musawa highlighted Dubai’s success in transforming tourism and the potential for alignment between Nigeria and UAE in tourism and culture.
Earlier, H.E. Salem Saeed Musabbeh Al Mahyoub Al Shamsi welcomed the proposals and expressed commitment to strengthening ties.
“The UAE has become one of the top five industrial countries so let us find a common interest in culture and tourism to build a stronger relationship. I invite the Ministry to Abu Dhabi to see the development in Dubai to explore specific areas of cooperation in tourism and culture,” the Ambassador said.
The discussion also touched on Sheikha’s upcoming visit to Nigeria and potential cooperation in culture, tourism, and creative industries.
The UAE plans to invest in Nigeria’s film, music, and fashion industries. The Minister invited UAE officials to explore cooperation areas and assured them of Nigeria’s commitment to deepening ties.
