Our Programs

Housing Support

Safe housing is the foundation for rebuilding life. We invested in over one acre of land where we have built a homestead that fit twelve new homes. it is located in the rural village of Kuto.

Education for Children

Education gives children a future. We provide school fees, uniforms, books and supplies to their children until the widows have a stable income to pay for it on their own.

Economic Empowerment

We invest seed money to support our widow's start-up businesses so they can generate and sustain a monthly income. Our focus is on vegetable farming and other commodities to trading in the local market so they can provide food for their families. Training will be provided.

Faith-based Community Support

Widows often face isolation after losing a spouse. We created supportive networks in each of our three communities. we plan to develop mentorships for economic empowerment and prayer groups that meet on a consistent basis.
