The precious Widows of Uganda are a forgotten people. Numerous orphans are blessed with donor support from the USA, but for some reason widows do not capture the attention of the Christian community. Widows struggle to find funds to send their children to school. Living conditions for many African widows are very poor.
Video: Below is a video clip of widows receiving monthly support from generous donors in America. They are so grateful! A widow can be supported for only $30 a month:
Please browse the galleries below and prayerfully consider partnering with one of the widows. Your support, letters of encouragement and prayers will change their world.
If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? James 2:15-16
