WORK OF MERCY INITIATIVE Nigeria
Work of Mercy Initiative (WOMI) is a non-governmental organization officially registered in November 2020.
The chairperson, Mrs. Eberechukwu Chinazom Ugwunweze had a challenge of unemployment as a young graduate for 8 years. Having struggled for eight years, she could feel the pain of an unemployed woman. As soon as she got a job, she quickly thought of how to alleviate the sufferings of women. From her first salary, she sent 20% of it to her mother to set up a business for the first beneficiary. Subsequently, she would save for some months and send to her mother for other women. This practice was on for about 8 years.
Incidentally, in December 2018, the Chairman/founder joined a Christian Organization for a “Help the poor outreach” in a slum (Kabusa ) in Abuja . She therefore discovered that so many women are living in abject poverty in that community. During the Lenten period in 2019, she decided to carry out her Lenten obligation in that community.
Moreover, she started thinking of providing a lasting solution to the plight of these people. The idea of empowering the poor women which would in turn benefit their families was conceived.
