There is a village in the Eastern mountains of Uganda, called Kapchorwa, where a group of women have been learning the American craft of quilting from scraps of fabrics they gather. They work together creating quilts and other products to sell so they can make a life-changing impact on the lives of their families and others less fortunate.

The proceeds of their handmade items are used to create micro-loans to see that other women are empowered to earn a living. Food is purchased so the poor do not go hungry. Clothes, blankets and mattresses are purchased so that children can stay warm. Rent is paid for widows so they can have shelter.

With grant money and the funds they receive from selling their products, a vocational school is being established so they can continue to teach others this trade and continue their ministry. Teenage orphan girls with no chance of getting an education will learn to become self-reliant and enabled to come off the streets. Single mothers or widows will be taught in order to earn a living for their families.

Women are empowering women to help create a better life for the community of Kapchorwa.
