Widow Ministry

The widow ministry in Mozambique addresses the challenges faced by widows who are raising their orphaned grandchildren. This initiative focuses on two primary areas of support:

1. Basic Home Repairs: Many widows live in inadequate housing that may be structurally unsafe or lacking essential utilities. The ministry often organizes community volunteers or skilled workers to assist with home repairs, ensuring that these families have a safe and secure living environment.
2. Essential Food Items: Access to nutritious food is crucial, particularly for widows caring for young children. The ministry typically provides staple food items, which can include rice, beans, maize, and cooking oil. This support helps alleviate food insecurity, allowing families to prioritize other essential needs, such as education and healthcare.

In addition to these practical supports, the ministry offers emotional and spiritual encouragement, helping widows feel connected to a community and providing them with resources to cope with their experiences. Through these efforts, the ministry aims to improve the quality of life for widows and their grandchildren, fostering resilience and self-sufficiency in challenging circumstances. 

If you are interested in supporting a widow in Mozambique, you can help cover basic home repairs for $500 or sponsor a widow with essential food items for $50 a month.
