Join us in providing urgently needed food, shelter, medical care, income-generating gifts and hope for widows in Africa and Asia.
In many places we serve, a widow is considered a curse. 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 many turn to begging and scavenging garbage heaps for survival.
Yet, God has not forgotten these widows. Though their families and society may have turned their backs on these precious women, God loves them dearly. It is His heart’s desire that we “care for orphans and widows in their adversity ...” James 1:27 (NET).
That’s why GFA World has an ongoing ministry to rescue and sustain the lives of neglected and abandoned widows and their children.
