WOW has always been about Home Based Care (HBC) for vulnerable orphans and widows. Our mandate, then and now, is to be "the hands and feet of Jesus" to dying and at-risk orphans and widows with a view to representing the Lord to them as "father to the fatherless and defender of widows" (Ps. 68:5). WOW makes thousands of HBC visits every year. These are made by our "army" of local church volunteers (mainly widows themselves) who lovingly care for the sick and the dying with great dignity.
