CARING FOR OUR WIDOWS

We are building a home for this widow, who is the mother of Raheem Shah a young married man who got paralyzed in the earthquake of 2005. The widow had no land for building a home and has no source of income. For the house we were able to get land from a relative of hers as a donation. And now we have created a source of income for the family by giving a share of an orchard consisting of 200 fruit trees. We supplied the trees at .50 cents per tree. And the land owner agreed to give 10% of the fruit produced to the widow’s family. She will be able to have both fruit and enough to sell in the market place.
