Our team of women will be traveling to Bethany Village, a rural community outside of Kampala, Uganda, on the banks of Lake Victoria. This community is made up of a primary school, a large farm, and orphanage homes caring for over 130 children. Bethany Village is a rural community with a strong vision to teach people and communities to become self sustaining, in a nation where jobs are scarce. Bethany is a part of African Renewal Ministries, a long time partner of A Jesus Church and Hear the Cry.
We will be working alongside the house moms and students of Bethany in their sewing training room and helping with jewelry making - by bringing supplies, purchasing additional machines and enhancing their skills, techniques and teaching methods. We will support their continued journey to develop skills that will equip young people, as they leave Bethany Village.
We will also spend time with these house moms and their families, who are each raising 15 children and running households by laughing, praying, encouraging and exercise! Health, fitness and other valuable life skills, will be great fun to share with these amazingly joyful people!
