WPD has ECOSOC status but is run by a small team of volunteers, with no main physical office - overheads are low. Every donation has a real impact, helping us advance the #humanrights of #widows of all ages. We prioritise #ConflictWidows.

Access to Justice ⚖️ & Psychosocial Support are very important to Widowed Person's &Orphans.Loss is painful, confusing & can lead to stress and depression. We MUST organize how our people live after loss of their loved ones. We will help them re-integrate to the society.

It saddens 😭😭 to see how we treat widows in our families and communities.
Land disinheritance is one of the biggest dangers and threats to widows lives in most part of the country. We call upon @PSYGKenya to ensure protection of widows right to property and land.

Widows’ daughters are at risk of transactional sex, which leads to teen pregnancies,early marriages,and increased HIV among teenage girls.Widows’ sons, because of their family’s financial situation or lack of a father-figure,are at risk to abuse substances and drop out of school.

There is a lot to be done to bring Grassroot Rural widows out of crises through technology and innovation.
We must take action by providing technological gadgets to Grassroot Rural Widows. We must also educate and train Grassroots Rural Widows to use technological devices.
