Margaret lives in Uganda, in the town of Hoima in the district of Bunyoro-Kitara. Hoima is northwest of Kampala. Margaret’s life revolves around caring for her family and her crops.
She will use the funds she receives from her needle work to provide education for her children; medical support for herself and her family; seeds or fertilizer for her crops; repairs to her home, or even begin to build a new one; and provide for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of the war (Lord’s Resistance Army or LRA), HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
Margaret meets weekly with her fellow needle workers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self esteem.
