Gospel for Asia (GFA) is bringing hope and help to widows in poverty stricken countries around the world.

In some countries, widows are considered cursed and blamed for their husband’s death and subsequently shunned by the other villagers.

For these widows, there is no future and no hope, and many expect to live out their days alone in poverty.

Danny Yohannan from Gospel for Asia (GFA) told One News Now, everything is taken away from them, their property, their rights and their honor.

One particular area of focus for Gospel for Asia (GFA) are the West Bengal Islands, which has become known as “Widow’s Island”, with the number of husbandless wives stretching into thousands.
