ABOUT US
Women of
Hope is a ministry of Healing Hands that seeks to strengthen women
around the world through education, business training, and microfinance. Our
work is accomplished by our international staff in countries like Kenya,
Uganda, Malawi, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, Ghana, and Haiti. Our Women of Hope
coordinators host trainings, and support and encourage the women they work
with.
We are always overwhelmed by the ripple impact
of workshops and businesses. Time and time again, we see that when these women
are empowered and earning an income, they send their children to school, share
their new knowledge with others, and serve their communities. We truly believe
that when women are empowered to dream, communities thrive.
Women of Hope is a
program of Healing Hands International. Our mission is to aid, equip,
and empower those in need around the world in the name of Jesus Christ so they
might experience God’s healing grace through programs like clean water,
agriculture workshops, women entrepreneurship, disaster relief, and more. To
