Philanthropy & Community Impact
Heart of Gold Support & Care Initiative
Ehiagwina Joy Patrick is the visionary behind the Heart of Gold Support & Care Initiative (HOGSCI), a mission-driven organization dedicated to uplifting vulnerable individuals—especially women—through empowerment, education, and sustainable development.
With a deep passion for social impact, Joy has spent years championing initiatives that equip people with the skills, resources, and opportunities needed to achieve financial independence and self-sufficiency. Recognizing the challenges many face—particularly in underserved communities—she founded HOGSCI to bridge the gap and create lasting change.
Through strategic empowerment programs, mentorship, and advocacy, HOGSCI continues to inspire and equip individuals to break the cycle of poverty. The initiative was officially launched to the media on June 10th, 2025, introducing its mission to empower communities, support education, and create sustainable opportunities for growth.
