Women in Business

'You will always have work" is what Carol told ten women who met at our classroom to hear about her business enterprise. I met Carol at church the first year I began this ministry and back then she told me she wanted to help the women who graduated from our classes make some products for her. I wanted her to sell our bags so nothing came of it then until NOW, the absolute right time.
Carol runs a trading company that sells the most beautiful native African cloths from which she makes a variety of products, shirts, skirts, dresses, bags, and so on. Now her business has expanded and she needs women to sew for her to fulfill her quotas for the more than 70 stores who buy from her. Her need matches our need and the women are thrilled. Nophelo, seen here with Carol, and a 2009 graduate thanked her on behalf of the women. "God has sent you to bless us and we are so happy and thank you," she said. Rachel our lead teacher will guide these women as they strive for excellence in their work. I told them, "I am so proud of you, you have worked hard and now you have this wonderful chance to show and use your skills."
And this I know, is just the beginning of things to come.
