Food
Creating opportunities for widows to provide for themselves and the orphans they care for is a critical step in rebuilding the lives of these women. Over the past few years, two significant milestones toward creating self-sustaining sources of food and nutrition have been accomplished:
The purchase of 11.5 acres of land for the widows to cultivate - Read Widows’ Land Story
The purchase of several dairy cows for the widows to share
Fish Pond
The widows land is thriving. The next step for this piece of land is to install a fish pond for an additional source of food. This pond will require fencing and a guard house to protect it.
Cows
Several cows have been donated that provide a life-giving source of food for the widows and orphans. The widows take care of the cows and many of the cows were pregnant when they were purchased so the widows were able to give the cows to other needy families.
This project has been completed. Thank you!
Fence to Protect Property
Donations have provided a fence to protect the efforts of the widows. Neighboring cows no longer wander through and eat their crops.
This project has been completed. Thank you!
Purchase of Property for Widows to Farm
Property was purchased and widows have begun farming the property. They are currently producing enough food to feed themselves with some leftover to give to sell to their community and give to others around them.
This project has been completed. Thank you!
Well for Widows Property
The well has been installed and provides water for the property as well as for the widows and the surrounding community.
