A WIDOW FACES EVICTION

KWANDALA FOUNDATION TO THE RESCUE

H
er name is Zainab Asabe Ibrahim, a widow whose husband died recently living with 4 children to take care of, in a rented house located at Dan Marke, Hotoro Quarters of Nassarawa in Kano State.

Now while many of us take it for granted the turn of the New Year from 2008 to 2009, some less fortunate ones among us had sleepless nights with the change over. Wondering why? Well for one, they have their yearly house rent to pay or face the wrath of their landlord or his caretaker as the case may be. Such a fury could come with the threat of eviction from the much needed roof over a head. And when such a situation faces you with 3 little ones to cater for, it could be an experience best imagined. That is exactly what the widow Zainab Ibrahim and her four children had to contend with as the year 2009 unveils its glory.

After approaching some well to do individuals with the hope of being rescued, she was turned away to go back on her knee begging a landlord who was not willing to accommodate any excuse. Realizing that she could find herself, her 3 orphans and her loads in the street, she rushed over to a mosque on Saturday 10th January 2009 with the three kids in hand, aged between 3 and 8 and appealed to the congregation through the Imam to please come to her aid with the house rent.

Now a member of the Kwandala Foundation happens to be part of the faithfuls who had just observed their sunset prayer there and having witnessed what was collected for her being too small to salvage the distressful situation, offered on behalf of the Foundation to help her. So text messages were sent to various members of the organization that night and by the evening of the next day, after some interesting responses, the amount was raised and has since been donated to the woman and her 4 children, who are now safe and sound in the house. The landlord has been paid the annual house rent. To all who donated we prayed “May God Al-Mighty come to your rescue, when you will need it the most” Amen was what most of them wrote back to us.

This is how the Foundation touches our individual as well as collective lives either by collecting or by giving. So which role do you wish to play? There is ample room to accommodate any sound soul in The Kwandala Foundation.
