From Invisible to Invincible

“I use to be invisible to my husband and his family. I was uneducated and treated as if I had no value or worth. I was not seen or heard. Since graduating from www.shiningalight.org ‘s program I am now respected. They ask me advice and include me in family decisions. They want my opinion. I use to be invisible but now I am invincible”. These words came from Christina one of our graduates who is now our Training Center Manager.

Christina, like all our other graduates is creating a “Ripple Effect” in her village by sharing her knowledge of Money Management with more then 100 people. She has taught 24 people to bead so they may earn an income. She shares her faith and The Gospel with hundreds of people and her knowledge of Clean Water has spread to over 100 people as well. That means that the $2500 it cost to Empower Christina has now been broken down to around $8 per person or family. If one person receives the knowledge then an entire family will benefit.

Gorgeous Products by Our Students
There are a few ways to support our students and raise the $2500 that is empowering so many. I have been doing “Sandal Parties” for the last 6 years that raise most of the funds to support the Tanzanian Side of www.shiningalight.org This makes Tanzania and our Training Center over their sustainable. You can Host a party by calling up friends and family and gathering them at your house. I will come with all of our products (not just sandals) and the women get to try on cute sandals, skirts, belts and jewelry. All of the proceeds from these purchases go back to Christina and women like her,  plus all the families they are passing on their education to.
Hosting a Party Can Change So Many Lives

It’s an easy and fun way to help! You can email me Jennifer@shiningalight.org and set up a party today. Just an open home can help so many lives. Your willingness to do this makes a huge difference!
