Who We Are?

Our Mission

Our mission is to provide comprehensive assistance, resources, and advocacy for widows, helping them overcome challenges and rebuild their lives after the loss of their spouse.

We believe in promoting social, economic, and emotional well-being for widows, fostering a supportive community where they can find solace, strength, and opportunities for personal growth.

Our Vision

Our vision is a world where widows receive the care, support, and recognition they deserve. We strive to create a society that acknowledges the unique struggles faced by widows and actively work towards eliminating the stigma and discrimination associated with widowhood.

In Teso, widows often face severe financial hardship and social isolation due to the loss of their primary breadwinner.

We strive to provide widows with comprehensive support services that address their immediate and long-term needs. This includes psychological and emotional counselling, legal assistance, financial guidance, and access to healthcare resources.
