After a life of service and going without, the widows of India face a whole new kind of suffering. Imagine your own children abusing and beating you or abandoning you with no means of survival. This is the reality faced by many of these widows. Those who are able, work menial jobs for a minimal amount of money. Many are too old, frail, and sick to work. They live on the margins of society, a background of misery. The United With Hope Widow's Fund seeks to restore dignity and offer hope to these precious women. The money from the fund goes to meet some of the most basic needs of the widows and reminds them that they are not alone. You can choose a single widow to sponsor or make a donation to the general fund. Either way you will be making a difference in the lives of the widows. All donations are tax deductible.

Sponsorship: For $10 or $20 per month you can sponsor one of these needy widows. You will receive monthly photographs of them with your gift, which will be used by the widows to meet their most basic of needs. There is also the blessing for the widow of knowing that someone cares about them and that they are not forgotten.

General Fund: If you prefer, you can make a general donation to the Widow’s Fund. These funds will be utilized to meet critical needs of the widows in the program, such as food and medical care.

The children who live in Durga’s and Sujeeth’s home are orphaned children and children with very poor families who cannot afford basic necessities for their children. Durga and Sujeeth treat each child as they do their biological children. The children have a secure home and family life with Durga and Sujeeth. Each child receives an education. Several children attend Intermediate College and go on to receive their Bachelor’s degree or a three-year college certificate.
