We, as Global Widows’ Association, are committed to educating and eradicating domestic violence. In most of our African cultures, a widow is subject to a lot of abuse from society at large. Most are forced to remarry and those second marriages can be hell. We help facilitate a safe haven for the abused spouses. We provide Police Stations with kits containing things like soap, champoo, tooth brushes and paste, hair brush, makeup etc. to help victims when they go to Police stations after rape and domestic violence. Many women, after suffering from something like this, go to a police station where they suffer further humiliation through hours of questioning, being stripped down and probed and photographed. In the end, they get an often cold shower with used bar soap and then must walk out of the police station wearing the same torn, and soiled clothes they came in with. One final reminder of the whole ordeal. These kits allow them to clean up properly and leave with at least a small amount of dignity.
GWA's purpose is to mobilize funds and resources to facilitate programs and activities that benefit widows and battered women.
With $8 we are able to feed a widow and 2 children for a week. My joy is complete when we are able to bring a smile to a face even if it's just for a day! We aim to help these women start projects in order to help empower themselves.

My husband passed on in January 2020. We have always been farmers but after my husband's demise I have people threatening to take my farm because my husband is not there. Thanks to madame Toko, through the Global Widows' Association, I have been getting moral/emotional support as well as groceries to take care of my 2 girls.

I want to thank sis Toko for inviting me to join the group Global widows association for moral, emotional and material support. I have friends now I can count on and I have received clothing and food from them. God bless
Harare ZimbabweI am 40 years old. I met my husband in the International church of christ Cameroon in 2007. He passed on in 2015. I want to thank my sister Toko of the Global Widows Association for the help rendered to me through groceries. It is not easy to be a Widow in Africa.
Douala CameroonI became a Widow in 2012 and in 2013 I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I am unable to work. I want to thank Toko for introducing me to her group of widows and Aunty Grace of Grace upon Grace Ministries. I dont know where I would be today without the emotional, physical and material support of the GWA. I am able to look after my 2 kids and I pray that God will not take me before they finish schooling.
