The Dorcas Widows Master Project supports SIM’s Dorcas ministries across several countries in West Africa, where widows often face deep isolation, economic hardship, and cultural stigma. Through Dorcas groups rooted in local churches, widows find a caring community where they can pray together, study Scripture, share their burdens, and experience dignity and belonging. Many of these groups also offer practical help such as advocacy, small emergency support, and opportunities to rebuild confidence through income‑generating activities.

Gifts to this master project strengthen Dorcas's ministries wherever the need is greatest. Contributions help equip local leaders, provide resources for windows facing crisis, expand groups into new communities, and sustain programs that nurture both spiritual and practical transformation. As women encounter Christ’s love through the Dorcas community, many discover renewed hope and become leaders who influence their families, churches, and neighborhoods for good.
