    Each woman who participates in LWH goes
through a training program for 12 months.
Women have a choice in which skills they want to
pursue. Some of which include: design, sewing,
weaving, embroidery, knitting, jewelry making,
and pattern work. The women also have the
option of living in the workshop house. While
in training, each woman receives a stipend and
hopefully a sponsor to help live during their
time there.

    With these new skills, a stipend and 12 months
in a safe community of women, they will be able
to take the next steps necessary to progress in
their lives, become independent and self suffi-
cient- living and working on their own.

    One of our projects is on the way to comple-
tion but due to financial instability we are still
working on it. If you can support this mission
and help me complete it, I can focus my energy
on the next project. Thank you.
