Widows' Relief & Empowerment Centre

A widow is a woman who has lost her husband through death and has not married again. The Hebrew word translates “widow” in almanac as {h”n’m.i;}, someone in emotional trouble. It occurs in the Old testament fifty-six times (56). Upon the death of a spouse, a widow loses 75% of her support base. It is imperative for churches to stand in the gap (Widows’ Hope).

Widows have a 30% higher risk of death in the first six months after the death of their husbands. They lose hope from their respective churches and some even go into prostitution just to cater for their fatherless children’s needs. For some, it is their girl-child that engages in such acts of prostitution so as to enable them forward their education, feeding, and other life basic needs. So they become broken hearted.
