STORY

Honouring community elders

Honouring and supporting the elders of the communities we visit.

Back to our work

The elders of a community carry its history and wisdom, yet they are often among the most overlooked. Women of the Kingdom makes a point of honouring them — with gift hampers, practical help and time spent in their company.

Handing a wrapped gift to an elder, and receiving their blessing in return, is one of the most moving parts of our outreach.

It is a simple way of saying thank you, and of making sure no one is left behind.
