Zahra working on ceramic bead production
as part of the Noor Self Help Group
As part of Canadian Baptist Ministries Muslim Women’s Self Help Group project in Eastleigh, Nairobi, small groups of refugee women are working together to provide sustainable incomes for their families through small artisan businesses like that of the Noor SHG. This week, Erica and the self help team are preparing for training with one of our newer groups, “Hormud" (which means leadership in Somali). Excited about the success of the Peace SHG, the ladies of Hormud SHG are interested in learning how to start of women’s scarf micro enterprise. As the ladies save money in their groups, they can apply for a matching grant through the CBM project to help them with the capital start up costs for their business. We look forward to sharing more about how the group does in the coming months.
We also want to thank everyone who has been sending us encouraging comments for the Garissa pastors and churches. This week, our team is back in Garissa following up with the leaders and their churches. Please remember Yattani, Michel and William as they walk with these leaders mentoring them in community assessments and project design over the coming months.
I have had Yattani and his wife and son on my prayer list for a long time since Paul C. introduced him but I will add William and Michel as well.
