The Heart of Gold Widows and Orphans Development Foundation in Nigeria is a ministry that developed in response to the plight of those who suddenly become the breadwinners of their families due to the passing on of their husbands.

The trauma they go through is underlined by lack and societal negative perception. The foundation is premised on the desire to relieve widows and orphans from ill-treatment, neglect and stigmatization in Nigerian societies in accordance with James 1:27: "Look after orphans and widows in their distress."
