The Widows' Cause exists to break the poverty cycle in the lives of widows/abandoned women in India and Bangladesh.
We believe by investing in these women without hope, they and the generations to follow are powerfully impacted.

The Widows cause works with local teams on the ground who have a proven history of accountability and a very good work ethic.
