Saving the surrounding Widows of Bujaga!

The Challenge:

300 Widows each having on an average of 4 children are starving to death! They have lost their husbands to either war, deseases, or AIDS.
The medication for worms cost .15cents, or malaria for .25cents. All out of their reach. So they just die unable to afford the few pennies that can save their lives!

The Vision:

Come up with a way to provide an ongoing source of food and shelter for each one!

The Plan:

The thought was to buy a single plot of land for each widow and her children that they would work for food. A single plot is 60' x 180'.

We set out to lease this land for 10 years at a time. Most of the land was not being used. This would provide a source of income for the land owner as well as the Widowers.

The Outcome:

In 2003 we provided 15 widows with 15 plots of land.
In 2004 we provided 50 widows with 50 plots of land.
In 2005 we provided 100 widows with 100 plots of land for a cost of $4,500 Canadian for 10 yrs.

We would like to thank the many, whose donations help make this possible.
