BOADER IMPACTS TO WIDOWS

The Widows Project in South Africa is a compassionate and community-driven initiative focused on empowering and uplifting widowed women. Recognizing the unique challenges faced by widows — socially, emotionally, and economically — the project creates opportunities for sustainable growth and self-sufficiency.
By uplifting widows, the project not only changes individual lives but also strengthens entire families and communities. Widowed women who are economically empowered can better support their children’s education, healthcare, and overall well-being — creating a ripple effect of resilience and hope.
