Joan meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-confidence.
She will use the funds she receives for her needlework to provide education for her children, medical support for her family, seeds or fertilizer for her crops, repairs for her home, and provide for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of HIV-AIDS or other illnesses.
