Tokunbo Wahab’s DOZ Love Foundation Empowers 10,000 Widows, Single Mothers

A little rain each day will fill the rivers to overflowing. So goes the Liberian proverb. What it leaves out is how tiring it must be for the rain that

Hon. Tokunbo Wahab has dedicated four consecutive years to funding the DOZ Love Foundation's empowerment program in Lagos State, reaching 10,000 widows and single mothers. This foundation operates on a partnership model, collaborating with various organizations and individuals to provide immediate assistance and empower women to manage their circumstances with dignity.

Initially founded by Bishop Obafemi Lucas and Prophetess Funmilola Lucas, the Dominion of Zuriel (DOZ) Love Foundation extends its support through various means, including sewing machines, grinding machines, hairdressing gear, makeup kits, cash grants, and business recapitalization assistance. Additionally, the foundation organizes medical outreaches, free health checks, and distributes food packs and clothing.

Wahab's continuous support has been instrumental in maintaining the program's annual schedule and expanding its reach. The foundation's efforts have caught the attention of traditional rulers, including the Ooni of Ife, underscoring the role that royal institutions can play in community welfare. For the beneficiaries, receiving equipment to start a business and timely medical checks proves invaluable.

For Wahab, his record reflects sustained support rather than one-off generosity, allowing ten thousand women to benefit from his initiative.
