A heart to give...
One of the unexpected joys of my business has been the opportunity it has given me to donate to organizations that are doing life changing work in the lives of women and children… locally in my own community and around the world! I have had personal connections with the founders of these organizations and have seen the passion and hard work that compels each of them to do the sacred work God is calling them to!

This is really where it all began for me… It was through this experience that God expanded my vision and opened my mind to the possibility that my little offering could truly make a difference in the world. Read my SAY YES story here.

Currently the team in Uganda runs a number of different projects. Our social worker Sharon works with the women of the community teaching them valuable skills to create an income, as well as tutors the children in our local school. She oversees programs like the tailoring classes where women learn to sew on machines in hopes of doing sewing for an income. We host ongoing workshops to teach sanitation, hygiene and nutrition and people come from all over Uganda to take part. We have an extensive farming program which provides sustainability for our program. We grow numerous crops which are sold to the community and at the local market which brings money back to Tusubira Village to continue the work we do.
