In the heart of Kenya, where militia violence and civil conflicts have left deep scars, there exists a cruel and overlooked reality: that of the widows. For many Kenyan women, losing their husband means losing everything. Victims of an oppressive patriarchal system, these women are often marginalized and condemned to ostracism. Considered a curse by society, they are blamed for their husbands’ deaths, accused of not having taken proper care of them. As a result, they lose their homes, their belongings, and their rights.

​

In the face of this bleak scenario, this project was born — a transformative initiative that seeks to offer a new opportunity for these women through sewing. The project aims to raise funds to purchase sewing machines, allowing these widows to have a source of dignified and independent income. By training them in the art of sewing, the project not only provides a means of livelihood, but also restores their self-esteem and sense of belonging.

​

With each machine acquired, a new story of overcoming begins. With each stitch sewn, a wound in the soul is mended. More than just a work tool, these machines represent freedom, dignity, and rebirth.

​

Our commitment is to rescue lives that have been pushed into oblivion and to provide a future where these women can be recognized not by the stigma of widowhood, but by the strength of their resilience. Each donation becomes a tool of empowerment, and every act of support brings us closer to a more just and equal world.

​

Join us and be part of this chain of solidarity. Let’s stitch together a new destiny for the widows of Kenya!
