DON FOUNDATION ON THE WELFARE OF NEEDY WIDOWS AND CHILDREN IN LAWRA IN THE UPPER WEST REGION OF GHANA
Executive summary
Mission: To improve upon the welfare of needy widows and children in the district
Vision: It is the wish of the foundation;
• To make needy widows independent and self-sufficient in providing themselves basic needs through handicrafts, pretty trading, agriculture and saving.
• To enable needy children have at least basic education with ease.
Aims and objectives: The aim of the foundation is to improve upon the welfare (living standards) of needy widows and children. The objectives of the foundation are;
1. Support needed widow;
a. Train widows on handicrafts, agriculture and on trade
b. Support them financially
2. support needed children in their education through;
a. provision of study materials
b. financial support to take care of their feeding
Justification: The vulnerability of women worldwide also affects women in Lawra. The cultural system makes it difficult for widows in the district. Women in general do not have say in terms of decision making, they have no right to property (for example, land) ownership, very little opportunity to have access to education, just to mention a few. Though things have change a little with gender (women) empowerment programmes and the adopted culture, which is the enskinment of a Queen Mother. Certain women groups most importantly, widows still need serious attention and support. Children on the other side have problems feeding, going to school, accessing healthcare, and so on as they can hardly take care of themselves. Children in the district though still living with their parents cannot have access to school. The foundation seeks therefore to offer a helping hand to these widows and children in financial, material and technical terms.
Significance: They foundation if successfully launch will see:
• Widows have some source of income
• Widows will be independent financial after going through the training
• Children also will have some sort of education at least the basic level

• Handicrafts such as pottery, batik tiy and dye, basket weaving, local jewelry making, picture making and bee making
• petty trading
• agriculture (cropping and rearing)
