Help Widows in Crisis Today

Every day, thousands of widows wake up wondering how they’ll feed their children or keep a roof over their heads. Some are young mothers abandoned after their husband’s death; others are elderly women left with nothing. For millions of widows in Africa, life after loss means more than grief — it means survival.

Introduction

When a woman loses her husband, she often loses everything — her income, her home, her security, and sometimes her dignity. Many widows in Nigeria face economic hardship, social rejection, and cultural injustice that push them into poverty.

At the Widows Foundation, we believe no woman should have to face this kind of pain alone. That’s why we exist — to provide lifesaving relief and long-term empowerment to widows in crisis.

Problem Amplification

Across Africa, there are over 258 million widows, and 1 in 10 live in extreme poverty. Many have been denied inheritance, displaced from their homes, or stripped of their rights.
They are left to care for their children alone, often without income or community support.

One widow from Gombe shared,

“After my husband died, his family took everything. I had no money, no food, and no hope — until the Foundation came.”

This story isn’t unique. It’s the reality for millions of widows struggling silently.

Our Solution: Relief + Empowerment

The Widows Foundation provides both immediate relief and long-term empowerment to help widows rebuild their lives.

1. Emergency Support

We deliver food supplies, shelter, and medical assistance to widows facing severe poverty or displacement.
These essentials bring stability in moments of crisis.

2. Skills & Business Training

Our widow empowerment programs offer training in tailoring, agriculture, and crafts — giving women a way to earn and live with dignity.

3. Education for Their Children

Through donor support, we ensure that a widow’s child doesn’t have to drop out of school.
Every donation helps fund tuition, uniforms, and materials for children who dream of a better future.
