Hope lives in southern Uganda, in the diocese of Rwenzori, close to the Rwandan border—a lovely area known as Uganda's " Switzerland.” Her life revolves around caring for her famil y and her crops. She meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers in one of 29 stitching groups located across Uganda. The groups include over 900 women artists. The communities they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourage each of them and have significantly raised their self-confidence. Hope 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 of HIV AIDS or other illnesses.
