"Shalom Widows Hope Fund".                                                                                     August issue The Shalom Widows Ministry is part of the community development arm of Shalom Namutere Project. In 2022, we observed that a reasonable number of the women we were empowering were widows. We held our first meeting with the widows to listen to them and provide a space to process their grief.

A well-formed child becomes a productive adult—one who contributes to innovation, employment, civic responsibility, and community stability. Conversely, neglecting education in a young population places enormous strain on future economies through unemployment, dependency, a...
