Susan lives in a town in the far north of Uganda that is close to the Sudanese border. She meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers, in one of 29 groups located across several Ugandan provinces. The communities they have built through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly boosted their self-confidence.
Susan will use the funds she receives from her needlework to provide education for her children; medical support for herself and her family; seeds or fertilizer for her crops; repairs to her home, or build a new one; and care for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of the war, HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
