PROGRAMME 03 • WIDOWS & ORPHANS
Strengthening dignity, livelihoods and education for vulnerable families.
Supporting widows, destitute women, orphans and children facing barriers to opportunity.
ECONOMIC & SOCIAL EMPOWERMENT
Resilience starts with practical options.
IPF’s programme seeks to build economic sustainability and resilience among widows and destitute women so they can support themselves and their children.
Activities described in the source include entrepreneurship training, support around access to land for farming, and forums for sharing information on women’s empowerment, human rights, health and available opportunities.
IPF's material also describes awareness of widows' human rights and advocacy against harmful practices including widow cleansing, disinheritance and property grabbing.
It also describes information centres as potential rural resource hubs, and material support for orphans and destitute children to help them remain in school, including sanitary materials for girls.
