We are a faith based organization committed to empowering individuals with sustainable solutions to climb out of poverty one rung at a time.
Program Services
| Description | Grants | Expenses |
|---|---|---|
| This year our focus has been to empower ministries that we had relationships with to create greater sustainability. Samaritan Creations in Bangkok Thailand had been struggling to raise the caliber of their sewing. They learned to sew by watching YouTube videos. We hired a tailor to teach them advanced sewing techniques. They received 10 one on one trainings. Once they completed the program we granted them working capital and 2 dress designs so they could create new products for their ministry. | $800 | $116 |
