As part of efforts to empower women, families and promote legal awareness, the Justice Revived Foundation (JRF), an NGO organized a landmark Community Legal Outreach and Donation Drive on Friday December 19, 2025 at Kwabenya Senior High School, near the Atomic Roundabout.
The initiative combined education, empowerment, and humanitarian support to equip women with knowledge and resources to navigate legal and economic challenges.
The event brought together widows, single mothers, school children, teachers, and civil society leaders for an afternoon of legal education, financial literacy training, donation of essential items, and networking, creating a platform that was both informative and celebratory.
Central to the outreach was a legal discussion on spousal property rights, personally led by Mrs. Janice Tiwah Oware, Esq., Executive Director of JRF.
With clarity and compassion, she guided participants through the complexities of property laws affecting women, explaining their entitlements and the steps to take when disputes arise.
“Women, especially widows, often face serious challenges from the extended families of their deceased spouses.
By educating them on spousal property rights, we are equipping them with the knowledge to protect themselves and know when to seek legal advice,” Mrs. Oware told reporters.
The program also emphasized financial literacy, encouraging women to adopt savings habits and build economic security.
“Many women engage in businesses but do not cultivate the habit of saving. Financial literacy is key to securing their future and that of their children,” she added.
In a tangible show of support, about 30 widows and single mothers received essential food items, providing comfort and relief for their families as the festive season approached.
The outreach drew commendation from Dr. Joseph Kobla Wemakor, Executive Director of Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG), who praised JRF’s grassroots approach to making justice accessible.
“This initiative demonstrates how legal knowledge can be used as a tool for human rights protection. Educating women on spousal property rights is critical to preventing dispossession and other violations, particularly after the death of a spouse,” Dr. Wemakor stated.
Looking ahead, Mrs. Oware unveiled the foundation’s Maiden Women Powered Conference, a comprehensive empowerment program scheduled for next year.
The conference will offer a 360-degree approach, combining seminars with practical vocational skills training, including makeup artistry, soap making, and sewing, to help women achieve economic independence.
She also called on corporate organizations, institutions, and individuals to support JRF’s mission, noting the foundation’s proven track record in delivering meaningful impact.
The outreach concluded with feasting, laughter, and networking, leaving participants inspired and empowered.
For the women, children, and community members who attended, the day provided more than education—it delivered knowledge, support, and hope, demonstrating how justice combined with action can transform lives.
