We have been raising money to help Wayua, a 17 year old orphan open her own dressmaking business. As the oldest in the family, Wayua is now responsible for her orphaned cousins who are younger than she is. She has the incredible talent of sewing and making dresses and would be able to provide for her family, including elderly grandmother if she had the resources to start this business.
The difference that would be made for the family of at least 5, is that they wouldn’t have to worry about food. The younger cousins will be able to focus on their studies instead of when and where they’re going to eat. This will help the younger kids get a better education so they can get out of thenever ending cycle of poverty.
Please help us help Wayua and her family!
