Amahoro Rwanda

Amahora means "peace"

This past week, we have been in Rwanda with our team mates Bruno and Kathleen Soucy for the first Kigali Guardians of Hope leadership conference. Along with a full week of ministry, we had the joy of spending time with the Soucy's eldest daughter Caroline who is visiting from Canada. Late one afternoon, we slipped over to Amahoro a women's sewing ministry.

Amahoro was started in Kigali as part
of the ministry of Amani Ya Juu, Nairobi
The women in the program gain literacy
and sewing skills that enable them to earn
a sustainable income.
