Justice Revived Foundation Brings Legal and Financial Empowerment to Women and Families in Kwabenya

The Justice Revived Foundation (JRF), a non-governmental organization committed to justice and social empowerment, has organized a major Community Legal Outreach and Donation Drive aimed at strengthening women and families through education and support.

The event took place on Friday, December 19, 2025, at the Kwabenya Senior High School, close to the Atomic Roundabout, and formed part of the foundation’s broader mission to promote legal awareness and economic resilience among vulnerable groups.

Designed as a holistic empowerment initiative, the outreach blended legal education, financial literacy training, humanitarian assistance, and networking opportunities.

Widows, single mothers, school children, teachers, and representatives from civil society organizations gathered for an engaging and impactful afternoon.

A key highlight of the program was an in-depth legal education session on spousal property rights, facilitated by Mrs. Janice Tiwah Oware, Esq., Executive Director of the Justice Revived Foundation. She walked participants through relevant laws affecting married women and widows, explaining their legal entitlements and outlining steps to take when conflicts over property arise.

Addressing the media, Mrs. Oware emphasized the importance of legal knowledge for women, particularly widows. “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,” she stated.

The legal session was complemented by a comprehensive financial literacy training delivered by Mrs. Winifred Frimpong, an Investment Advisor.

Her presentation focused on practical money management skills, including budgeting, savings culture, and financial planning.

Mrs. Frimpong encouraged participants to develop disciplined saving habits, manage their businesses prudently, and make informed financial decisions that would enhance their long-term security.

The session was highly interactive, with participants sharing experiences and seeking guidance on building financial stability and preparing for unforeseen circumstances.

The importance of financial education was further reinforced during the program, with emphasis placed on the link between economic independence and empowerment.

Mrs. Oware noted that many women are actively engaged in business but struggle with savings, stressing that financial literacy is essential for securing the future of both women and their children.

As part of the foundation’s humanitarian support, approximately 30 widows and single mothers received essential food items.

The donation provided much-needed relief to beneficiaries and their families, especially as the festive season approached.

The initiative attracted praise from Dr. Joseph Kobla Wemakor, Executive Director of Human Rights Reporters Ghana (HRRG), who commended JRF for bringing justice education directly to the grassroots.

“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 remarked.

During the event, Mrs. Oware also announced the foundation’s upcoming Maiden Women Powered Conference, scheduled for next year.

The conference is designed as a comprehensive empowerment platform that will combine seminars with hands-on vocational skills training such as makeup artistry, soap making, and sewing, aimed at promoting economic self-reliance among women.

She appealed to corporate bodies, institutions, and individuals to partner with and support JRF’s work, highlighting the organization’s strong track record of delivering impactful community-based interventions.

The program ended on a high note with food, laughter, and networking among participants.

For many attendees, the outreach went beyond information sharing—it offered reassurance, practical support, and renewed hope, underscoring the power of justice-driven action to positively transform lives.
