We are a restorative justice organization, preparing widows to be leaders of positive social transformation in their communities through integrated programs in leadership, health, livelihoods and justice. Our work alleviates widowhood poverty, mitigates the impact of HIV/AIDS, and gives widows the tools to tackle oppressive cultural, economic, and social practices that undermine widows' dignity and limit their agency.
Africa where widows thrive - We envision a continent where widows are valued, empowered, and leading positive change in their communities, free from stigma and discrimination.
Six key areas where we focus our efforts to create lasting change for widows and their communities
We use a three-step strategy to achieve our mission and objectives
Step 1
Widows participate in leadership circles where they encourage and support each other emotionally, spiritually and financially.
Step 2
Nyanam equips the widows with knowledge and skills through various trainings such as in business, property rights, leadership, voice of change and human rights and others.
Step 3
The widows design, implement and evaluate social change projects that seek to improve their wellbeing, including how they are perceived and treated in their communities. Nyanam facilitates research and policy engagement to advocate for widows.
