Nyanam Widows Rising

Dear Nyanam Friend, It has been a remarkable year. It would not have been possible without your unwavering support. We appreciate your generosity and dedication to cultivating an Africa where widows and their children thrive. We are deeply grateful for your belief in our mission and the impact we continue to create together. As we celebrate this season of joy, we wish you and your loved ones a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year. We look forward to more years of collaboration, growth, and life-changing impact for widows and their children. As one widow said, "Since I joined Nyanam, I feel I am human." May this festive season bring you peace, happiness, and countless blessings. With heartfelt gratitude from the Nyanam board, staff, widows, and their children. #MerryChristmas

Purple was the color that lit up the room yesterday as we gathered for our Annual General Meeting 2024! It was a day of celebration, a day to honor the impact we have made, the power of teamwork, and the staffs of the Year 2024. Together, we shared a meal, played, and danced. 2024 has been a blessed year, where through strong partnerships, we have ensured the continued provision of high-quality services to the Nyanam widows and their children. Now, we set our sights on 2025 fearlessly and with peace. Our mission for 2025 is clear: to grow our impact and deliver even more effective services to the #NyanamWidows and their children. Here’s to an incredible 2024 and an even brighter 2025 #NyanamAGM #StrongerTogether #EmpoweringCommunities #Impact2024 #Fearless2025

Day 1 of our 2024 annual Nyanam youth camp is Here! 🚀 We have officially kicked off our 2024 Nyanam Youth Camp, and the energy is already electrifying! This year’s theme is “Technology and Robotics Education in Advancing Learning and Innovation Among Widow’s Children”, and we’re thrilled to have over 1,000 young visionaries (ages 10-24) ready to embark on a journey of knowledge, creativity, and empowerment. For the next four days, our campers will dive deep into exciting hands-on experiences—designing robots, exploring cutting tech, and embracing the timeless wisdom of Noah building the ark. From building core values to engaging in fun games, singing, dancing, and discovering how innovation can shape our future, we are igniting a spark of learning and transformation that will last a lifetime. This is just the beginning, and the best is yet to come! Stay tuned for more incredible updates as we continue to inspire, equip, and transform the next generation of leaders and innovators! ✨ #NyanamYouthCamp2024 #TechAndInnovation #FutureLeaders #Empowerment #Robotics #EducationForChange #BuildingTomorrowToday

🌟 Happy Tuesday! 🌱 We are thrilled to celebrate an incredible milestone this #GivingTuesday—raising $1,127 to benefit 37 widow-led households with climate-adaptive gardens! 🌍💚 These gardens will empower families to grow fresh, sustainable produce, ensuring food security and resilience in the face of climate challenges. 🥦🍅 Thank you to everyone who made this possible—you are truly making a difference! 💪✨ #ThankYou #Impact #WidowEmpowerment #ClimateAction #ZeroHunger #NyanamGiving

Today marked the conclusion of an exciting three-day training that equipped 63 Nyanam youth mentors and 34 widow matrons with skills and knowledge in technology and robotics! Over the past three days, we equipped our youth with essential knowledge on technology by introduction them to the world of technology tackling key topics on: Basic computer skills, the possibilities of the internet, understanding the power—and the risks—of social media, and the exciting world of Robotics. The results were nothing short of incredible: 1. Our youth mentors successfully created their own email addresses, 2. They collaborated to design and build a functional wind turbine using LEGO, 3. They gained essential knowledge on how technology can shape their futures—while learning to navigate its challenges safely. The energy and enthusiasm have been infectious, and we are thrilled of the next phase during our four-day youth camp beginning next week where our youth mentors will put their newfound skills to work. A massive thank you to Coderina EdTech Foundation for their generous donation of robotics kits and for equipping Nyanam staff with the expertise to deliver this life-changing training. Together, we are building a brighter, tech-savvy future! #NyanamYouthMentors #NyanamYouthLeaders
