Jackline Atimango, Threads of Blessing artist, lives in a village called Goli in the Nebbi district of northwest Uganda. Nebbi borders Lake Albert to the south, the River Nile to t he east, and the Congo to the west. Living in a mud hut with a thatched roof, Jackline’s 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; repairs to her home, or even begin to build a new one; and provide for any orphans for whom she cares as a result of poverty, HIV-AIDS or other illnesses. Jackline meets weekly with her fellow needleworkers. The community they have developed through Threads of Blessing encourages each of them and has significantly raised their self-confidence. Show more
