aid to widows
Our focus extends to a particularly marginalized group of widows – those who face unique challenges. Among them are individuals who are not only widowed but also burdened with the care of mentally or physically challenged children. These widows dedicate their time and energy to provide constant care for their children, leaving them with minimal opportunities to earn a livelihood.
In recognizing their struggles, we provide tailored assistance to ensure that these widows receive the support they require. This assistance not only relieves their financial burdens but also acknowledges their dedication to their families' well-being. By extending a helping hand, we aim to alleviate their hardships and create a more inclusive and compassionate society. Through these efforts, Nazakat demonstrates its commitment to empowering women, addressing the challenges of single-parent households, and ensuring that no one is left behind. Our assistance aims to uplift and support these widows, enabling them to lead dignified lives and fostering a sense of belonging within their communities.
