HEAR FROM OUR CEO

When TLC Widows’ Outreach was established in 2016, it was born out of a deep compassion for the struggles faced by widows in our society. | have witnessed firsthand the pain, challenges, and uncertainties that widows endure after the loss of their partners. TLC is built on the belief that every widow deserves support, hope, and a chance to rebuild their life. Through our dedicated team and comprehensive programs, we aim to provide widows with a holistic approach to healing and empowerment. We offer emotional support, skills training, financial assistance, legal guidance, and a community of understanding and care. Together, let us uplift and restore hope in the lives of widows, helping them navigate the path towards a brighter future.

HEAR FROM OUR CEO

TLC Widows Outreach was born from a place of pain, one I witnessed up close. I saw how widowhood could strip a woman of more than her partner; it could strip her of her identity, her voice, her rights, and her place in society. I saw mothers displaced from their homes, denied inheritance, and forced into silence by harmful traditional practices. That heartbreak stayed with me and it moved me to act.

At Total Life Concern Widows Outreach, we are on a mission to restore what widowhood unjustly takes. We provide support, advocate for rights, and offer safe spaces where widows are seen, heard, and empowered. Our work is rooted in justice, dignity, and the belief that no widow should have to walk alone or in shame.

This is more than a cause, it is a calling. And we will keep rising, one widow at a time.
