Widows Might

Skill and business training that empowers widows to support their families paired with Bible teaching that give them eternal HOPE.

24 months

Generational Hope

The Widow's Might Program seeks to instruct, encourage, and empower destitute widows by providing food assistance each month, five goats in the first year (to help them start their own self-sustaining herd), skills training they can turn into a business, and Bible teaching.

The cost of this program is $65 per month, and the length of the program for each sponsored widow is 24 months. At the end of the 24 months each widow receives a "Business in a Bag" that provides her all the tools she needs to run her own business.

The impact of this program stretches beyond the widow herself, but allows her to support her children, send them to school and create a generational hope.

THE LIFE OF A WIDOW IS HARD

  • When a husband dies, 90% of the time, his family comes and forcefully takes everything of value from the widow, often leaving her homeless.
  • Widows are often forced to send their children to work at young ages to support the family.
  • Many widows were victims of child marriage and never had the chance to attend school.
  • The average age of our widows range from 20 years old to unknown (as many of our widows never knew their birthday).

Widows Might has proven to be highly effective in helping widows become completely self-supporting.

To date, 200 widows have graduated from our program with 100 currently enrolled.

Our graduated widows are able to afford homes for their families, put food on the table and send their children to school.

For every widow that we help, there are tens of thousands of other widows who need assistance.
