You see, she is an orphan. She has been passed from person to person, begging for help wherever, if ever she could find it. Life in Burundi is tough enough, but if you are a woman without parents, family, or anyplace to call home, it's unbearable. Someone gave her a ray of hope when they told her about the Home Care Program for women just like her.
If she is accepted, she will enter a 10-month training program that will teach her to support herself and others by sewing clothing. She will be provided a meal each day, daycare for her children, and transportation to and from the center. She will learn to read, write, count, measure and a host of other practical skills. She will join a group of women who become the family she never had and she will be taught the love of God through daily lessons from the Bible.
The final and most important benefit will be the love and care she will be given by the Home Care Team. These women live to serve the girls in the program. They become their parents, sisters, counselors, and friends. Of the 176 graduates of the program, all are self-supporting in a country where few are able to make ends meet. We thank God for the joy these women bring to their work and for the success he has given them. By the way, she was accepted . . . she begins next week.
