It is hard to believe that it has already been six weeks since our Virtual Gala – it feels like no time at all and yet so much has changed at Ray of Hope Ministries. Just a few weeks ago, single mothers like Evelyn were struggling to provide for their families. Before COVID-19, Evelyn carried a jerrycan of milk from house to house, selling it by the cupful. Her husband left and remarried earlier this year while she was pregnant with their fourth child.
Lockdown measures prevented her from continuing her business and she struggled to provide food for her children.
Thanks to your capital support, Evelyn and fourteen other women are able to restart their businesses and provide for their children!
And she isn’t the only one to say thank you this week – visit www.sisterschools.org/double-the-gratitude for a video thank you from both Evelyn and Emily Hashima, the Director of Ray of Hope Ministries who helped us manage the project! ... See MoreSee Less

On our blog, sisterschools.org/sanda-sells-tomatoes, you can hear directly from Sanda about her gratitude and why she chose tomatoes - plus a look at local artisans at work! ... See MoreSee Less
