A Widow's Perspective


As the months have progressed, each widow has become more comfortable in her work and relationships are growing stronger each day with Abbie, Katie, Asha and Dinesh and now Gayle.  The income they are earning has become a crucial part of meeting their daily needs for food and medicine but more importantly, restoring their sense of dignity.

In recent interview, one of our widows, Muni expressed to Asha how the work helps to take way her pain and offers a welcome distraction from sitting alone on her bed and reliving the pain of her past.

Watch the video below to hear her heart wrenching story.

Open House Celebration




Open House Celebration at Mahima Creations

After months of preparation the team at White Rainbow Project collaborated with the Mahima Creation team to make the widows feel special.  We shared good food, songs, testimonies, and love.  Pastor Dinesh beautifully translated Manju's witness to the women.


We reached a new level of intimacy and our relationship is stronger than ever, as they asked for prayer for healing.  A tender farewell was bid to Katie Gilliam, with a few fallen tears shed, but she promises to return and continue deepening the friendships.

During the celebration, we had so many widows come to us and ask for employment.  Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to employ many needing and deserving widows, but with your help, we hope to never have to turn away another widow who wants to work.  Won't you please consider helping us help the widows?
