In Africa there is a saying, "if you teach a man, you've taught just one man. If you teach a woman, then you have taught a family."
Premise
Empowering women to become self-sufficient through Dignity, Joy, Health & Love.
Hope 4 Women International is our new division of Hope 4 Kids International. We are empowering women to become self-sufficient with businesses of their own and to raise their dignity through tea parties, day spas and celebrating women.
We've begun in Uganda and hope to carry this to other parts of the world where women suffer from poverty, disease and low self-worth.
Currently, the widows of Uganda are in crisis. As their husbands die they are ostracized by his family as well as by society. Typically the family will cast the woman and children from their homes forcing them to the streets. Alone in their despair they are forced to beg, prostitute themselves or their children just to survive. Some commit suicide while others labor in the gardens to raise a bit of food for their families. Serving women through the 4 hopes
