A Voice for the Voiceless

We stand with widows, children and vulnerable families with practical help, care, and a voice when no one else will speak for them.

Welfare Packages

Help That Reaches Every Home

We deliver food and essential welfare packages to households that need them most, so no family is left to struggle alone.

Protecting the Vulnerable

Every Widow, Every Child Matters

From care for widows to support for vulnerable children, we protect the interests of the people society too often forgets.

Who We Are

Caring for Those Society Forgets

The Dr Janerita Peters Foundation (DJPF) is a not-for-profit, non-political organisation serving Rivers and Ebonyi States. We exist to meet the needs of the less privileged, to render humanitarian services, and to protect the interests of indigent people, especially widows, children and the vulnerable.

Open and Accountable

Every gift is used only for our aims, and independent auditors check our accounts every year.

Help Where It Is Needed

Welfare packages, humanitarian support and advocacy, delivered to households, widows and children in need.

We believe no widow should be left alone and no child should be forgotten. That is what we work for every day.
