You have the power to make a real impact on the life of a Rwandan woman and her family.
Join us and make change happen today. Sponsor a woman, get your church involved or come to Rwanda.
When you sponsor a woman, you bear fruit.
You Give The Light
Handspun Hope does this work with Rwandan women because we love Jesus and we want to love His people well. The women of Handspun Hope love Jesus, too, and pray for you every day when they gather for Spirit-filled worship and prayer before starting their work day.
You Support Innovation
It’s more than a sheep or a rabbit… it’s innovation! Recognizing that innovation in entrepreneurship is vital to long-term business success, Handspun Hope is creating a product that is truly one-of-a-kind in its Merino and Angora yarns, and hand-knit products. When you care for a sheep or rabbit you are investing in an entrepreneurial endeavor that will employ formerly-marginalized women for years to come.
You Unify
In a country destroyed by ethnic based violence during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, Handspun Hope is doing its' part to rebuild the country’s unity by ensuring we hire equally among the country’s three ethnic groups (Hutu, Tutsi, and Bantwa) and foster a work environment centered on partnership.
You Heal
We want to see the women of Handspun Hope transformed from the inside out so they can live out a beautiful future free from a traumatized past. Your sponsorship provides personalized counseling which, in turn, empowers each woman to live in true freedom.
You Educate
The biggest inhibitor towards educating Rwanda’s children is lack of funds for school fees, books and uniforms. Your monthly sponsorship ensures children from primary through high school have these basic needs met so there are no barriers towards their attendance in school.
You Give Health
Health insurance is expensive in Rwanda but, for those living in poverty, it can feel unreachable. Having health insurance provides peace of mind for the women of Handspun Hope, many of whom are HIV-positive and are now able to access treatment and proper medication.
Church Partners
Handspun Hope is an ecumenical Christian organization eager to partner with like-minded churches who want to grow in a deeper understanding of the Bible's call to care for the poor and make a difference in Rwanda.
WE HELP YOU DO THIS.
Engage
Handspun Hope wants to engage your church community through education as a means to mobilize your church for mission. We would to speak at your church to inspire your congregation with the beautiful work God is doing in Rwanda.
Go
Handspun Hope encourages churches to send their members to participate in God's life changing work. We facilitate a worry-free vision experience to Rwanda, allowing teams to connect and build relationships with the women working at our center. These short-term trips allow you to explore a new culture, interact with new people and see first-hand how, through the transformational relationship that comes from knowing Christ, lives are being changed.
Become a church partner today.
Vision Trips
