The woman of God who is also the wife of the senior pastor, The City of Refuge International, Pastor Oloche King Adaji said:
”Empowering women by strengthening their socioeconomic status and providing them with the knowledge and skills needed to live a sustainable and healthy life is our goal.
‘’Deborah Adaji Foundation is a platform where my family has used over the years to impact the lives of people and reach out to the less privileged. It has existed before the church. It was founded on September 2nd, 2019.
‘’Although it was named after me, it is our family’s social responsibility to the world and community aimed at ameliorating the sufferings in the world. And we do these by accomplishing our vision which is enhancing the lives of women, youths, and children.’’
She said the foundation has multiple initiatives, which include entrepreneur skills development initiative, health care support initiatives, education development, counsel initiatives, community development, social works initiatives, and children support initiatives.
She added:
‘‘Our job is to assist the less privileged to earn a living, we are targeting women to empower them so they should not be stranded if their husband is not there and if he is around, they should be a support system to the family.’’
Adaji said some of the specialized training of the foundation include catering and event management, hair and soap making, beads making, entrepreneurial skills development (mentality renovation).
She also said:
‘‘We don’t want women to be redundant because an empowered woman is an empowered home, an empowered woman encourages and supports an empowered man as well as the children.
‘‘If the woman is empowered the home is built and the society is built and developed, there won’t be agitation that can lead to a trial or crisis in the family and joy will be multiplied.’’
Also speaking, Pastor Oloche King said:
‘’We are in the last days, and the world should look up to God. My counsel is for us to look unto God. Nobody lives in the world forever, so let’s take the path of peace, dialogue, reconciliation, and talking out our differences.’’
Speaking further, he urged everyone to be the solution and not the problem, stressing the need to be patriotic.
