We offer scholarships to dependent children of widows as part of our commitment to social responsibility and inclusivity. Widows often face significant financial challenges, and their children may lack access to the same educational opportunities as others. By providing scholarships, we aim to help reduce financial barriers, allowing these children to pursue quality education and realise their potential.
