Erone Babyenda, Threads of Blessing artist, lives in west central Uganda, in the diocese of Bunyoro-Kitara. Her life revolves around caring for her family and crops.
She 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; maintenance and repairs to her home; and provide for any orphans for whom she cares; as a result poverty, HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
Erone 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.
