CREDIT
FOR WIDOWS
Millions of women become the family breadwinner in the aftermath
of war and to them falls the task of rebuilding shattered families and
communities. Women who provide the sole support of countless
households bear the heaviest burden and are most in need of
financial credit. Widows need long-term development support yet access to credit and
training is rare. Often widows and their children become the 'poorest of the poor.'
