About us
At the core of our mission lies an unwavering dedication to philanthropy, driven by profound kindness and a commitment to transformative change. The Jamil and Nyanga Jaward Foundation was born from humble beginnings, inspired by a personal charity that has since grown into a structured and impactful initiative. We focus on empowering women and their families to overcome the challenges of rejection, rights abuse, and economic hardship. Through education and socio-economic development, we work to break down the barriers that impoverish and marginalize vulnerable groups, particularly widows of all ages, backgrounds, and beliefs. Guided by the compassion and love taught in Matthew 25:35-40, we serve with both hands and hearts, dedicating ourselves to lifting women and children out of poverty and rejection. Our vision is a society where women and their families, especially widowed families, live full, happy lives surrounded by a community of acceptance and support. The JNJ Foundation empowers local leaders to advocate for widows' rights, reinforcing social resilience and fostering Widow2Widow networking for community solidarity. We empower widows to engage in income-generating activities through education, healthcare, and business support. Our holistic approach ensures they have the tools to achieve financial stability and break the cycle of poverty. Our hands-on model educates and engages widows in shaping their livelihoods, empowering them as active participants with the skills to sustain themselves and uplift their communities. We are committed to improving the socio-economic well-being of women and girls in selected communities in Sierra Leone, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to thrive and celebrate their lives. Join us in our mission to create lasting change and uplift those in need. Together, we can build a future where every woman and child has the opportunity to live with dignity and hope.

In Sierra Leone, widows have necessary inheritance rights safeguarded by the Devolution of Estates Act 2007. Unfortunately, many women are not aware of these rights or how to access the NASSIT benefits that their late spouses left behind. At the Jamil and Nyanga Jaward Foundation, we are dedicated to making a positive change. This year, we will initiate educational campaigns designed to equip widows with the knowledge they need about their legal entitlements and the necessary steps to secure them. By empowering women with information, we aim to illuminate their path and ensure that every widow is informed and supported. Join us in this vital mission.

The Carb Town Water Tank Project: A Lifeline for Widows The Jamil and Nyanga Jaward Foundation has transformed lives in Carb Town with an 11,000-liter water tank, providing widows with easy access to clean water. Previously, they spent hours fetching water or used their limited funds to buy it. "This tank has been a blessing. It saves us time and money, allowing us to focus on our families and children’s education," says Kadie, a widow and mother of three. This project eases daily struggles and economically empowers widows by freeing up resources for essential needs. Please help us create more impactful change in vulnerable communities.
