Through education and vocational training, self-sufficiency can be. Our Vision: To teach life skills, producing responsible adults with a hope and a future. Widows Helping Widows Join Our Supportive Community Become A Hope Hero One Time Donation Serves to empower, inspire, bring hope and support the community of 13 million widows in the United States and approximately 800,000 widowed annually. The numerous advantages of this approach include: an orphan stays in their home environment they receive personal adult-based attention and new social structures are fostered that provide both the widows and the orphans with the safety and security that the family-orientated environment provides. Missions for Orphans is a non-profit organization whose calling is to diminish the effects of poverty in the lives of children, orphans, and community members in poverty-stricken Africa.
Practically, the above situation implies that a widow opens up her home to care for one or more orphans as part of her own family. It is a living testament of our commitment to Charity, Brotherly Love and Relief. Thousands of our Masonic families have felt the brotherly hand of assistance since its inception. Therefore, we choose to help the orphans find a new family and home. The Masonic Widows' and Orphans' Home Fund is a very worthwhile part of our Masonic History. It started its operations in 2004 but was formally registered in January 20. Moreover, institutionalisation removes a child from his or her home environment. Widows and Orphans Empowerment Organization (WEWE) is a Nigerian Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). However, such institutionalised care is relatively costly, and it is often detrimental to the children concerned who very rarely, under such circumstances, receive the personal attention that they need.
Sadly, institutionalised orphanages are still widely seen as being the best form of orphan care.
