Widows & Social Support

Many widows and other vulnerable caregivers in our communities face poverty, social exclusion, and emotional distress. Our Widows & Social Support Programme helps them regain dignity, stability, and economic independence.

Key interventions include:

✓

Emergency financial aid to support widows and vulnerable families with food, medical treatment, and urgent household needs.

✓

Skills acquisition and vocational training in areas such as sewing, hairdressing, catering, soap making, and small‑scale trading to help beneficiaries start income‑generating activities.

✓

Business support and starter kits, including small capital grants, tools, and basic equipment, to help trainees launch or expand micro‑businesses.

✓

Counseling and psychosocial support to help widows cope with loss, discrimination, or trauma, and regain confidence and hope.

✓

Community and peer support groups where widows can share experiences, learn from one another, and build a network of mutual help.
