The Sewing Ministry in Kipkaren, Eldoret is more than a skills program—it’s a chance for women to rebuild their lives. Many have faced hardship, rejection, and loss, but through this ministry, they are stepping into hope and opportunity. Here, they are not just learning to sew; they are finding purpose, healing, and a new beginning.
As they take their first steps in this journey, will you join us in prayer for them?
Women Embracing Hope and New Beginnings
Behind every trainee in this ministry is a story. Here are just a few of the incredible women who need your prayers:
