One act of random kindness at a time.

Our standing promise

Fourteen widows. Every single month.

Losing a husband in Nigeria often means losing income, housing security and social standing at the same time. Many widows are left to raise children alone with no safety net.

In February 2025 we began giving 13 widows a monthly contribution toward rent, food, utilities and other necessities. By March the group had grown to 14, and in May we increased each widow's support by 50%.

We have not missed a month since. A monthly gift is the most direct way to keep it that way.

What we do

Seven pillars of care

Need rarely comes one at a time. We organise our work around seven areas so a widow, or a child, can be helped as a whole person.
