Care for widow, Nepal

In Nepal, widows are often mistreated by the families of their late husbands. Elderly or disabled women who cannot support themselves risk becoming vulnerable or abandoned.

New Vision Tabitha Home is committed to helping elderly widows in distress.

Ambika is 64 years old. She is from Palpa in western Nepal. Sadly, after her husband died, her son and his wife exiled her from her their home. She tried to live with her father, but he too did not accept her. She was homeless and hungry.

Ambika, along with 66 other widows, is now living in the New Vision Tabitha Home in Dhulikhel.

Supporters of G056 – Care for Shunned Widow, Nepal (Gift of Hope 2009-10) provided a widow with shelter, food, a bed, mattress, blanket and pillow.
