In a strong show of compassion and community support, New Harvest Global Ministry in partnership with 2nd Chance Movement and Sho Sho Foundation on Wednesday April 8, 2026 distributed essential food items to 35 widows in Bo.
The outreach brought relief and hope to beneficiaries who continue to face daily economic and social challenges. Each widow received a bag of rice, a gallon of palm oil, onions, salt and other basic household items intended to ease the burden of providing for their families.
Speaking during the presentation, the Chief Executive Officer of the Sho Sho Foundation, Blessings Winner Ndeleh Johnson said the initiative was organized in memory of her late brother, Shodankeh Gracious Johnson, who passed away in 2022 in the United States.
She explained that the gesture was not only to provide material support but also to remind widows that they are valued members of society who deserve care and encouragement.
“We brought these widows together in loving memory of my late brother,” she said. “Through the Sho Sho Foundation, we remain committed to supporting widows and ensuring they do not feel forgotten. We want them to know that hope is still alive.”
She added that the foundation continues to expand its humanitarian work across communities, focusing not only on widows but also on underprivileged children and young people who require support to build a better future.
According to her, the 2nd Chance Movement operates under the Sho Sho Foundation and is driven by a mission of compassion, transformation and empowerment. She emphasized that the initiative is rooted in the belief that everyone deserves another opportunity to improve their lives.
“Our goal is to spread love and share the word of God while supporting those in need,” she noted.
Delivering a message of encouragement, Rev. Shodankeh Johnson, Global Team Leader of New Harvest Global Ministry, urged the widows to remain strong in faith despite their circumstances. He encouraged them to stay hopeful and draw closer to Christ, whom he described as a source of strength and comfort in difficult times.
“Being a widow does not mean the end of hope,” he said. “Remain joyful and keep your faith alive.”
The beneficiaries expressed appreciation for the timely intervention, describing it as a meaningful act of kindness. One of the recipients, Bintu Kanu, said the support would go a long way in helping them meet their daily needs.
“We are deeply grateful for this support,” she said. “It means a lot to us and we pray that God continues to bless the organization.”
Other widows shared similar sentiments, noting that the gesture made them feel remembered and cared for in a society where many often struggle in silence.
The outreach forms part of ongoing efforts by the partner organizations to support vulnerable groups and promote hope, faith and social inclusion. Organizers reaffirmed their commitment to continue reaching out to communities and making a positive impact in the lives of those in need.
