Featured Ministry: Amazima Ministries- Prt. 6

Hello, beautiful people! How would you feel if spent today talking about a group of beautiful women?

Vocational Projects:

Imagine you are a mom living in the slums of Masese. Your child is dirty, hungry, and sick. Recognizing your helplessness, you double over with heartbreak. You would give your life to make your baby well. Your options? Prostitution. Rumage through the slums. Brew alcohol. With these options, your life and the life of your family is on the line. What would you do? What would I do? (Vocational Projects)

Most likely we will never have those three options standing between us and a healthy child, but it is a grim reality for many families in Uganda. Women, living and breathing women, in slums know all too well that heartbreak. The women of Masese have known the pain of a lose-lose situation. They now know hope through the hands of Amazima. If you have been reading here this month, you know Amazima orchestrates beautiful happenings in the name of Jesus Christ. Did you know that Amazima has waded knee deep in the hurt, and has offered a respectful way for the women of Masese to provide for their families. Go to Amazima's website and on the front page you will see beautiful beaded necklaces made by the strong hands of the Masese women. Through the sales of necklaces the women are able to do something for their hungry and sick families. The project also allows the women to learn money management and spiritual discipleship (Vocational Projects). I know it's all too much!

Amazima says it best: Your support of Amazima's vocational programs builds entrepreneurship, restores dignity, and empowers the Ugandan people to work their own way out of poverty (Vocational Projects).
What do you say we do what we can to help! Remember that 10% of the profit made from our "Featured Item" this month goes to help Amazima. You can also click here to learn more about how you can help the women of Masese.

Enjoy your Day!
