Widows Needs
Bathroom for Betania
Betania and her 3 boys who live at home don’t have a bathroom in their home. They have to walk down the street to the convenient store to use the restroom. Betania has been saying money and buying supplies when possible to get the bathroom started. We want to help her finish out the bathroom so they have a place to use the restroom and take a shower without having to leave!
Widows Needs
Bathroom for Nosilia
Nosilia lives in Los Robles with two of her grandsons. Unfortunately, they do not have a bathroom in their house so they have to walk to a shared bathroom. She is concerned about their safety when they have to walk at night to go to the restroom. We believe having a restroom accessible at your house is critical to both health and safety!
Widows Needs
Bathroom for Morena
Morena lives in a house with several of her children and grandchildren. They do not have a proper bathroom in their home so they have to walk to the bathroom or relieve themselves outside. They also do not have a place to wash themselves so they fill buckets with water to bathe. Morena has a bathroom partially built so we want to help her finish the project. We believe this is a critical need for both the health and safety of our widows.
Ministry Needs
Purchase Land for the widows empowerment center
We are working to secure land in central Barahona that will allow us to build a Widows Empowerment Center. We are praying God will lead us to a property that is centrally located for all of the widows to get there easily. Property is expensive so we are trusting in the Lord for a door to be open to purchase land at a reasonable cost.
Ministry Needs
Building the Widows Empowerment Center
We have estimated that the cost of building and furnishing the Widows Empowerment Center will be approximately $200,000. Following the design and pricing phase, we will update this to the exact cost. This center will be a multi-use building for teams to stay during mission trips, events for the widows throughout the year, a resource center for the widows to learn skills such as reading, writing, sewing, cooking, and so much more.

Literacy Program (6 Month Course)
Our goal is to empower every widow in our program with the ability to read and write – unlocking opportunities for lifelong learning, personal growth, and greater independence.
The literacy program runs for six months, providing consistent, small-group instruction designed to build confidence and measurable progress. This is the TOTAL cost for the 6-month program (including teachers) for 15 widows.
