Speaking about the initiative, OSHA calls Dance City the marriage of Dance, Fashion and Music. “We already have the support of Denrele Edun the OAP and God of the red carpet, DJ Jimmy Jatt
who OSHA calls the world famous musicologists of the turn table; and certainly Zizi Cardow our multi award winning, internationally known and respected fashion designer whose works has graced many fashion weeks and international media”.
The originator of Dance city, OSHA will be supporting two NGOs.
According to him, in many parts of the world, the loss of a husband is just the first in a lifetime of tragedies a widow must endure. Widows can be stigmatized, stripped of their inheritance and property rights and denied the chance to find work. Neglected by authorities and overlooked by researchers, they are often invisible, left to raise their children and care for their relatives in poverty. So we will be supporting the Advocacy for widows empowerment foundation (Adwef).
