United by a burden of kindness
When journalists and activists fight for truth and justice, they often face immense challenges. Tragically, some pay the ultimate price. This leaves their families, especially widows, struggling to cope with loss and financial hardship.
At Richard Akinnola Foundation, we stand with these courageous women. We offer financial assistance and support to widows of journalists and activists who have lost their loved ones in the line of duty.
