Regular support allows families to remain settled, avoid displacement and gradually work toward education, skills and self sufficiency.
Widow Sponsorship provides consistent monthly support to vulnerable widowed families who have lost their sole breadwinner. In Afghanistan, where women often rely on their husbands for income, the loss of a spouse places families at immediate risk of hunger, displacement and exploitation.
This sponsorship covers essential living costs while helping widows regain stability, protect their children and rebuild their lives with dignity.
