There is a very bright future for our current class and future classes of students for years to come. Our recent volunteer, Haley has shown our ladies how to make these beautiful African print headbands, with technical guidance from Martha, our very overqualified tailoring instructor. The young ladies are doing so well after just under 4 months with us that their high standard of work is already export quality.
Hailey's plan is open an online business selling these colorful and exotic headbands, along with other products she and Martha have designed during her stay with us.
We look forward to watching Haley's on line and wholesale business grow and prosper, supporting our graduates for many years ahead as she and, upon graduation our students learn and grow their business together.
Our students come from backgrounds of extreme poverty. At best their future would have been as a very low paid house girl, being forced to live away from their family and their children. They could never have dreamed that their lives could possibly take such an exciting, creative and fun turn. Their growing confidence and understanding of their own self worth is a daily joy for me to watch. This is all because of you, our sponsors who care enough to continue supporting Springs of Hope Foundation and our work in Kenya.
If you'd like to learn even more about what we do or how you can meet some of the young women you have helped, please contact me at jenniferhughes@springsofhopefoundation.org. I'd love to chat with you!
On behalf of our young women and children…
Asante Sana,
Jennifer Hughes-Bystrom
