Jane lives in southern Uganda, in the diocese of Rwenzori, close to the Rwandan border – a stunning area known as the “Switzerland” of Uganda. Her life revolves around caring for her family and her crops.
She will use the funds she receives from her needlework to educate her children, provide medical support for herself and her family, seeds or fertilizer for her crops, maintain and repair her home, and provide for any orphans she cares for.
Jane meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have built through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly boosted their self-confidence.
