Many people do not know that there are 245 million widows and their 500 million children around the world, who suffer in silence. 115 million widows struggle to survive and 1.5 million widows’ children worldwide do not live to see their fifth birthday.

In many developing countries, widows often experience targeted murder, rape, prostitution, forced marriage, property theft, eviction, social isolation and physical and psychological abuse. Often poor, uneducated and unable to find a job, many widows depend on their children as breadwinners, who often end up working on the streets or in factories which are common places for child abuse.

The Loomba Foundation helps to provide support and care to these widows and their children. Please help me raise some money for this worthwhile cause, every little helps!

Thanks in advance.
