This year with the support of our generous donors, we provided gardening packages to six widows, including tools, seeds, and protective gear, empowering them to boost their livelihoods and nutrition. Rainboots and lapas were gifted during Easter, bringing joy to many. Thanks to your support we were also able to distribute medicines in June 2024, bringing relief to widows who cannot afford even basic over-the-counter drugs. On October 5th, we celebrated World Old Folks Day with over 305 participants and helped Widow Jenneh and her family in their time of need. Additionally, through Wordsower International, we opened two new widow groups at Otis Dyega’s church in Buchanan and Leona Lamah’s church in Johnsonville, expanding our reach to serve more widows. What a year it has been, God is Good!
We continue to support the five groups with rice, oil, and soup seasonings each month. The Matadi group has grown to 168 registered widows, the Johnsonville group has 76, Soul Clinic 66, Buchanan 39, and Maryland 109.
Ideas to Help a Widow This Christmas and new year
Medicines – As part of our commitment to promoting the health and well-being of our community, we are always delighted when we have the funds to distribute essential medicines to our registered widows. This initiative is crucial for those who lack access to basic over-the-counter medications. We aim to resume providing these much-needed medicines early in the New Year.
