Group of Women Doing Good

Every Tuesday, a group of women shuffle into a church building to fellowship, study the bible and bring in the crafts they have made during the week. The group started meeting in 2003, which was only ten women who wanted to better their lives and their children's lives. After praying and being lead by God the women came up with a plan to empower the women and help them build a skill that could be used to sell items.  Once the crafts have reach the market and are sold, the money is brought back to the group. Which a loan for the money can be used for school fees, paying bills and helping with food.
