International Widows Day archive
International Widows Day occurs annually on June 23 and is a day the United Nations set aside to recognize the poverty and injustice faced by millions of widows and their dependents.
Starting in 2019, Nyanam Widows Rising hosted annual International Widows Day celebrations in Kenya for widows and their families. The archive records that 2020 raised more than $3,000 for 115 COVID-19 response kits, while 2021 was not marked because finances were unavailable.

The 2022 section says Nyanam hosted a half-day celebration that brought together 40 widows, honored resilience and community contribution, and distributed household support gifts.

The archive explains that the 2020 celebration had to be smaller because of COVID-19, but it still raised more than $3,000 to fund and distribute 115 response kits for widows and their children.
2019
The archive still carries the 2019 heading, marking the beginning of the public record, but no gallery remains attached to that year.
Archive gallery
The archive currently retains live photographs from the 2020 and 2022 celebrations, so this gallery stays focused on those documented images.
