Victoria watches as her two little girls put on brightly colored dresses for their first day of school. She is proud of her children’s delight in the beautiful garments she made just for them. They dart to school, waving goodbye to a tearful Victoria. 

She steps back into her small store - shelves lined with vibrant clothes ready to be purchased. Victoria’s shop is doing well, allowing her to provide for her two young daughters in a way her parents couldn’t provide for her. 

Her parents, honest and hardworking day laborers, suffered in poverty - unable to care for Victoria. At five years old Victoria was left at our children’s home where the meals were hearty, classrooms buzzed with learning, and hearts overflowed with affection.

As she grew up, she was given a quality education and eventually went through our tailoring school. These skills, combined with business classes, and a growing relationship with Jesus became the bedrock for the fulfilling life she enjoys today as a seamstress, business owner, wife, and mother. It was your generous support that has helped her break through the hardship of poverty.

At Victoria’s shop—every stitch, button, and bobbin is because of your investment in education that empowers women out of poverty!
