Helping women increase their own household income and escape the cycle of poverty
Since the economy has been poor, people are always looking for alternative sources of income but even minor jobs are scarce or paying minimal amounts; much less than what’s needed to sustain themselves. Through our programme we aim to empower widows to support themselves.
We do not believe in simply distributing aid to needy communities. Instead, we invest in futures. We want to give the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people a chance to change their lives for the better.
Our aim is to train and then give each widow one manual sewing machine, which will cost £250 per widow.
