DONATIONS
Giving That Gives Back
TAWIA works hard to serve our very special community. Being there for widows is especially important since many social service agencies, hospitals and hospice groups that might offer support are experiencing budget cutbacks. TAWIA helps women rebuild their lives for as long as they need us. For those reasons, we’re working harder than ever to raise the funding to back our programs and services, pursuing public and private grants and charitable foundation support. In addition, in the same way that the TAWIA looks to its own for emotional support, we also look to those among us who can help us financially so we can continue to fulfil our mission. For example, we actively seek corporate sponsorship and the generosity of individuals.
When a woman becomes a widow in Africa there
is usually no money for living purposes let alone educating their children. As
a result children are quite often forced to work either in the streets or in
factories. Sending a child to school is a cost a
widow can’t afford as they need a uniform, exercise books, etc. Giving That Gives Back

Therefore, we have helped finding support to educate children and here is an update on the numbers.
Before I provide any figures I just want to advise that when our supporters help us to send a child to school we make a 5 year commitment. This means there is a guarantee in place that the education they receive is long lasting rather than stopping and starting which isn’t particularly helpful.
