The Widows Cause Sponsorship Initiative
View this email in your browser
The Widows Cause believes everyone is Made for More irrespective of Colour, Creed or Culture.

Our mandate is to provide an opportunity for widows/abandoned women in India & Nepal to make more of their lives.Despite deep personal tragedy and ongoing challenges these women gladly step up and run with an opportunity that will create a better future for themselves and their children.

Local teams working with TWC on the ground provide training, ongoing supervision and a small repayable loan.  This enables a widow/abandoned woman to start up a business or extend an existing business which in time will make her economically independent.
DONATING
Recently, we had problems with our website Home Page - The Widows Cause which has now been resolved.
However to avoid further confusion we ask that you DONATE directly to Global Development that handles all TWC's finances via the links below.

http://www.gdg.org.au/InfoJ865N  for India    
http://www.gdg.org.au/InfoJ1016N for Nepal 

It is IMPORTANT to quote the project no. J865N for India and J1016N for Nepal with every donation.

With thanks
