WOMEN EMPOWERMENT PROJECT

EVANGELISM AND BIBLE DISTRIBUTION PROJECT

My name is Agnes. I received a grant from First Love Global Ministries, which I use to make porridge and chapati using firewood, and I sell them to earn a living. I am very happy for the support because I have been able to educate my children. The challenge is that I don’t have a place to prepare these items indoors, so when it rains, it’s difficult for me to work.

This is Eunice. I am so grateful, thanking God for your support. My garden is doing well, and the children are going to school. Besides the garden, I have another business of roasting bananas and maize. All is well; the challenge is that the rain has brought a lot of weeds, so I don’t have time to look for maize and bananas. I have decided to temporarily stop roasting until I finish weeding.
