Widows and Orphans in Uganda

Over the past five years, I have had the privilege of volunteering with the Dorcas Widows Fund.  My roles have changed over the years from fund raising, selling products made by the widows, meeting /speaking to church communities to being a sponsor for a needy child.  My life has been deeply enriched by meeting the widows on a mission trip, reading the stories of the widows, and by watching the widows community being built.   The Dorcas Widows Fund has made a commitment to built 30 homes on land purchased 6 years ago.  Several houses and a community center have been built.  The Fund also employs a Ugandan nurse, children's ministry coordinator, and a social worker. The Dorcas Widows Fund need help raising money to keep the ministry going.
