Operational Structure

Guidelines

Operational Structure

The WOSSA comprises of Twelve (12) persons in its Board and other Twelve (12) in its Management team. All members of the Board and Management team are volunteers, and they do not receive any financial allowance for participating. WOSSA has only Three (3) paid staff that run its day to day activities in each state or location where we operate.

The Founder however oversees and directs the affairs of the staff in the daily administration. So far, the WOSSA has registered over 300 widows and over 500 hundred widows’ children and orphans

The Management Team members meet twice monthly to deliberate on the various programmes and activities of WOSSA.

Operational Department

Since inception, WOSSA has carried out and is still carrying out several intervention programmes to her targeted beneficiaries and these programmes are categorized into departments, namely:

  • Business and Vocational Development
  • Education and Counselling
  • Rehabilitation and Health Care
  • Material Needs and Welfare
  • Documentation and Media
  • Programmes and Events
  • Marketing

Programmes of Intervention

Some of our programmes include

  • Annual Patrons’ Day/General Meeting
  • Business Empowerment Programme
  • Back to School Programme
  • Prayers and Thanksgiving Programme
  • Educational Relief Programme and Scholarship Scheme
  • Medical Relief Programme
  • Housing and Rehabilitation Programme
  • Distribution of End of Year Welfare package etc
  • House to House Visitations

Finance

The WOSSA Programmes are executed basically with the donations from our kind hearted patrons and Patronesses, Board of Trustees, Management Members, friends and well-wishers.

However, because of the growing needs of the WOSSA and its beneficiaries, it is becoming more and more challenging to mitigate the financial obligation. Hence, WOSSA needs every connection and contact, especially for external funding sources and opportunities. WOSSA also looks forward to the support of the benefactors, not only through their individual contributions but by introducing the Foundation to their friends and clients who might also be in positions to assist the Foundation financially or otherwise.

Prayers

As you cheerfully and sacrificially give to WOSSA today, may the Lord notice and answer your prayers.
