Each stands alone — but the real shift comes when a family moves through two or three in sequence: schooling, then a livelihood, then advocacy when they are ready to fight for what is theirs.
School fees, uniforms, books and after-school support so children of widowed mothers stay in classrooms rather than dropping out into labour.
Subsidised primary care, maternal health support and emergency medical aid for widows and orphans excluded from local systems.
Skills training, micro-grants and starter stock so widowed women earn within months — not years — of joining the programme.
Direct sponsorship covering clothing, food security, structured wellbeing checks and a case worker per child where partner capacity allows.
Raising the legal and social standing of widows where inheritance law and custom still penalise them — research, campaigning and direct casework.
Recovery, not dependency. We measure success by the families who no longer need us.
