PROJECT DIGNITY
Project Dignity
Restoring honor to the widows in India through entrepreneurship.
We are renovators, working to restore honor. Whether that be with RT4 or any other project we put our hands to we are work establish honor.
In the case of this Giving back honor and dignity:
spiritually, emotionally, psychologically.
… co-creating with God to rebuild and restore “the places long devastated…your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in,” (Isaiah 58:12).
We Are Meeting Various Needs
Broken Social Identity
During the funeral, the wife’s bangles are smashed, the dot on her forehead, the “bindi”, is removed, and her colorful clothing is exchanged for white only. Every symbol identifying her as a married woman, connected in her society is destroyed. She is now untouchable.
Economic
Already vulnerable, widows are often fired by employers who do not want the curse on their business. Additionally, half-widows, desperate for their husbands to return, spend the limited funds they have on blessings from spiritual masters, religious mendicants, and holy men, to find relief and peace.
Psychological Health
Widows and half-widows experience depression, phobia, emotional instability, considering themselves worthless.
Physical Health & Safety
Because they lack social value, they are physically vulnerable to threats, extortion, manipulation, sexual molestation and rape.
How It Works
- We identify a potential candidate (a widowed woman ready be empowered)
- A partner invests to purchase a cow and start up needs
- Our new employee is given all that she needs to learn the cow milking business, this is a 6 month to 1-year trial
- Once proving faithfulness, she will be given the opportunity to be the owner of her cow milking business, by providing an interest free loan to pay back startup costs
- Profits returned from loan money will supplement the needs of the women (for any special needs) and provide start expenses for new cows
With your financial partnership we can not only help transform women’s lives, but also impact and transform a culture.
