Campaign
Child Widows
Mercy-Esther Mhoja
I can't believe there is such thing yet it exists. I know it's said children’s are the future...I don't think the child widows still have a future they are forced to get married by older men who then die and leave them with bearings to care for on their own. So far I have been a volunteer for charities trying to help other children like me but with this opportunity I will be able to raise a great awareness get more teenagers helping out than just my friends. I am writing a script for a short film based on a true story from Tanzania which is the country I was born in. This is great as 15-24's are the largest cinema goers this will get their attention and provide information on child widows and how serious the issue is.
