Diocese of Lucknow Gifts Sarees and Income-Generating Tools to Widows on International Widows Day

In commemoration of International Widows Day, Believers Church Diocese of Lucknow organized special gift distribution programs in two districts of Uttar Pradesh on 23rd June 2016.

Sarees were distributed to 50 widows in one place and in the other place, income-generating gifts such as 10 pushcarts, 10 goats and 5 sewing machines were given to 25 needy widows. The widows were happy, encouraged and blessed through this program.

Many of them appreciated Believers Church for showing them care and love and said that they were happy to see the Church helping them through different social welfare activities.

Rita Devi, a widowed mother of three children, said, “I am grateful to Believers Church for giving me this pushcart. I was selling slippers by sitting in one place, but, now I can move to different places and earn more income and take care of my children well.”
