Help Suffering Widows in Jesus' Name

Join us in helping to provide for widows' most urgent needs, such as food, shelter, medical care, income-generating gifts—and hope.

In many places we serve, a widow is considered to be cursed. She is often socially shunned, abused and neglected—and sometimes abandoned by her own family. Thousands of abandoned and neglected widows and their children across Africa and Asia live in such deep poverty that some turn to begging for survival or find themselves ensnared in human trafficking. Others simply live exhausting lives of physical labor, struggling to feed themselves and their children.

Yet, God has not forgotten these widows. Though their families and society may have turned their backs on these precious women, God is deeply concerned about their suffering. He calls Himself "a father of the fatherless, a defender of widows" (Psalm 68:5).

That's why GFA World has an ongoing ministry to rescue and sustain the lives of neglected and abandoned widows and their children.

You Can Bring Christ's Peace to Widows' Hearts

Your one-time or recurring gift helps to meet the critical needs—such as food, clothing and shelter—of destitute, vulnerable widows and their children who are grieving and struggling to survive. Your help can also provide income-generating gifts, training and medical care. Together, we can serve and rescue thousands of suffering widows—bringing love and peace in Jesus' name.
