Widows
Transform a widow's bleak future
Upon becoming a widow in some developing nations, a woman is often blamed for her husband's death and enters a life of shame. Burdened with the responsibility to care for her children alone, she is often forced into begging or even prostitution.
By supporting widows, you'll be a part in giving them means of renewable income, like a sewing machine or farm animals. You'll also help with daily essentials, like blankets and water filters.
Most of all, this support will be given through the local church, giving them a chance to learn about the unending love of Jesus Christ.
Watch how a widow's life can be transformed through simple, practical gifts.
- Vocational training, such as tailoring classes, gives widows a sustainable way to provide for their families.
- In a place where many women are illiterate, women's literacy classes for widows keep them from being forced to sign unfair contracts or charged extra at the market.
- Practical gifts like water filters and blankets help widows with immediate needs of getting clean water and keeping her children warm.
Raise Funds to Change a Widow's Future
By raising funds for widows, women at the bottom of society will get a chance to experience God's love in both word and deed.
