Amazing Women – Super Humanitarians Part 1

During my visit to Pakistan, I was fortunate enough to meet some amazing women- true community leaders and super humanitarians: two widows and one entrepreneur. Today I will share with you the story of the first two women who were left widowed when their husbands died, leaving them with young children to feed and look after.

The first widow is paralysed from her legs down, and cannot stand or walk. She can, however, draw a great smile. She has been looking after two young children who are going to the nearby school; two girls who want to become doctors. She has amazing strength, especially as she is also looking after one of her nephews, because his mother is mentally disabled.

Her disability gives her the main drive to build her family, to support her brother’s family, and to work part time and earn extra money to help make the dream of those children come true.

The second astounding woman is another widow, who looking after her 14 year old daughter, as well as a young girl aged 5 that she adopted. She has a great ability and strong-minded dream to build the future of the two children and make to make the best possible life out of future.

The two are widows are determined to expand their message of love and support to extended family and the outside community. With the money they could have, they could build a much greater society than we have. The will of two women, strengthened by their social and physical conditions, as well as being part time community workers, is strong.
