Indeed, leading job site has partnered with Covid Women Help – a volunteer organization that seeks to provide financial and professional help to women who have lost their spouses to Covid-19 – to help them identify, prepare for, and apply for suitable job opportunities in the formal sector.

We launched the platform to help women find employment so that they may support their families better. We are grateful to Indeed for stepping in to help our cause. We are confident that this collaboration will help us in our mission of making these women stand on their feet by finding them a job.”
