Abel Aoupa, Threads of Blessing artist, lives in Lira, a town in Lango diocese in the north of Uganda. She meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have built through Threads of Blessing has significantly boosted their self-confidence.
Abel 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 HIV-AIDS or other illnesses.
