Juliet Awor, Threads of Blessing artist, lives in Kampala, the capital of Uganda.
She will use the funds she receives for 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, and care for the orphans for whom she cares as a result of HIV/AIDS or other illnesses.
Juliet 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.
