Widowhood stigma remains one of the most pervasive yet overlooked human rights issues in Africa today. Half of 24 million widows in Africa suffer stigma, a root cause of health, social, economic and sexual vulnerabilities.
VoC is a widow-centric, Bible-informed widowhood curriculum that seeks to unpack the difficult experiences of widows and enable widowed women to devise actions that can bring meaningful change in their lives. VOC is our own unique intervention, created to be delivered by widows through widow group settings. The curriculum is a series of topical issues pertinent to widowhood, from parenting and food security to human rights and land rights.
