The (unexpected) loss of a spouse, or loss of a parent in childhood, can be extremely harrowing without the right support. SCF was officially registered on 4 January 2019 under section 10 of the Kenya Societies Act. SCF works to create a society where widows, orphans and the elderly have access to basic needs. It began with an informal gathering of a small group of widows in 2011.
