WIDOW PROFILES

Widow #840

Ndikumana Gertrude
Case #840

Because widows are traditionally considered to be worth next to nothing in Burundian culture, they are disregarded by their neighbors and find it difficult to provide themselves with even the basic needs: food, clothing, shelter.  She has received a house through Sister Connection. Gertrude is very poor. She works as a farmer. 

She received a home through Sister Connection in 2012 and has been waiting for a sponsor since then.
