Serving the Widows of India

In India, the struggles of being a widow are enormous. In the past, if a woman survived after the death of her husband, she would be burned alive on the pyre of her deceased spouse. Though this is not in practice today, the widows of India are largely considered dead to society. Upon the death of their husbands, widows are often banished from family, friends, and employment, and regarded as a useless burden. Tradition requires them to shave their heads, since they are considered unworthy of being beautiful.

Widows in Need

Matthew 10’s Commitment
