Still in Egypt this week! Your donations helped 10 widows open small herb shops, established to offer a diverse range of herbal remedies, spices, and legumes. They provide customers with access to high-quality herbal products and nutritious legumes while promoting health-conscious living (something we all need some help with, right?). While sourcing the herbs on a consistent basis was an issue to start, all 10 women have created relationships with suppliers and farmers to ensure steady supply going forward. Their shops have been a significant step towards empowering each of these women, providing them with valuable skills, income opportunities, and a sense of pride and independence. As one said, “Today, through this project we live with dignity and my daughter is proud of me and all her needs are fulfilled.” Your wonderful support is truly accomplishing Godly works! “A Father to the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in his holy dwelling” (Psalm 91:4).
