Empowering Widows

We are focused on supporting women-led households so that they can support themselves and their families. They are typically widows, single mothers, grandmothers, aunts or guardians who look after the children. They are amongst the most vulnerable group in Africa.

In traditional rural African societies, women marry young and stay at home to look after the children. The loss of a husband or bread winner is traumatic and with no state support, usually cause hardship to the family.
