“I am Grace from the Diocese of Bunyoro-Kitara. Since I joined Threads of Blessing, I have been doing my stitching very often, and my pieces have been bought. With the money I earned from my work, I was able to start a piggery."
Grace belongs to one of 29 groups located across several Ugandan dioceses. She meets regularly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-confidence. The groups include over 900 women artists who make up the Threads of Blessing family.
The money the women earn from their stitching is life-changing. It enables them to help support their families, pay for education and medical needs, and buy seeds and fertilizer for their crops.
