The Chinwe Bode-Akinwande (CBA) Foundation recently celebrated its 10th anniversary with the annual Walk4Hope Charity Walk, aimed at raising awareness and support for underprivileged widows and their children in Nigeria. The event, held on November 7, 2026, brought together individuals, corporate organisations, partners, volunteers, and supporters to show solidarity for vulnerable women and children. This year's event was part of the Foundation's 10th anniversary activities, celebrating a decade of advocacy, empowerment, and interventions.
The CBA Foundation focuses on five key areas: women's empowerment and capacity building, healthcare interventions, nutrition, quality basic education, and self-employment. Through these areas, the Foundation provides skills acquisition opportunities, business development support, educational assistance, and access to essential needs for vulnerable women and children. Established in 2015, the Foundation has been working to improve the lives of widows and their children across Nigeria.
The Walk4Hope charity walk is an awareness and fundraising initiative designed to highlight the challenges confronting widows, including social discrimination, economic hardship, limited opportunities, and the burden of providing for their children. The event provided an opportunity for the Foundation to reflect on its contributions to communities over the past decade and renew its commitment to restoring dignity and creating sustainable opportunities for widows.
The anniversary celebration also acknowledged the contributions of the Foundation's sponsors and corporate partners, including FirstBank, Nominees, First Cap, First HoldCo, Nigerian Breweries, Nexra, Keskese, DigixPlus, Vyrus, EkoHotels, Truecaller, and HopeStores. The Foundation expressed appreciation to participants, customers, volunteers, and other supporters whose contributions helped make the charity walk successful.
As the CBA Foundation enters its second decade, it remains committed to building a society where widows and their children have access to the support and opportunities needed to live with dignity and confidence. The Foundation's efforts have made a significant impact over the past decade, and it aims to continue providing support to vulnerable women and children in Nigeria.
The CBA Foundation's 10th anniversary celebration and Walk4Hope charity walk demonstrate its dedication to creating a positive impact in the lives of widows and their children. The event served as a platform for the Foundation to engage with its stakeholders, including corporate partners, volunteers, and supporters, to raise awareness and funds for its cause.
The CBA Foundation's commitment to empowering widows and their children is evident in its sustained efforts over the past decade. As it looks to the future, the Foundation is expected to continue providing essential support and opportunities to those in need, building on its achievements and making a lasting impact in Nigeria.
