Empowering Women
PEACE serves and equips 150 women who are at various stages of spiritual, personal and entrepreneurial growth, which is quite a joy seeing them now excited about their futures. The 16 women who started the 2-year tailoring/business development classes in 2022 are graduating in December. They have worked very hard and have earned enough money from tailoring to purchase their own machines to continue their businesses.
Equipping Leaders
Over the past eight years 100 Church Leaders have graduated in 2-year trauma healing training which enables them to greatly impact their communities! The current pastors in training will be graduating at the end of this year, and each one will receive a goat to take home for their family to raise, breed and sell. This valuable gift provides their family with some income while the pastors travel to do God’s work.
The suffering of refugees, the fighting between tribes, and even those that work with or teach those children that have experienced trauma. Lives continue to be dramatically improved by taking the time to teach leaders what forgiveness means, what respect means, and even what love means. Hate and fear are melting away toward peace and toward an attitude of serving others.
