Association Hir-Ton Dhe Jehovah Jireh

The Association Hir-Ton Dhe Jehovah Jireh(former Saaba Widows Business Association) in Burkina Faso, West Africa gathers widows and their children together for mutual support towards greater healthy interdependence. The Association works to increase household self-reliance and to eradicate the illegal cultural practice of widow pillaging. 

Through micro-finance practices, collective work and education offered by the Association, the widows move together toward running their own businesses and share in mutual support. The Association also advocates for the end of the illegal cultural practice of widow pillaging perpetrated by family-in-laws at a time when the community should share in grieving.
