There is great reward when we embrace others in need and equip them with skills (not handouts) so that dignity and sustainability can be passed on to others!
Without an investment there can be no return. From prayer to a variety of caring actions, the door to make a difference is open for you, your family, and your friends.
I will crush poverty with HOPE!
Your network is a powerful tool! Explore the incredible difference you can make when you advance the cause through your office, church, small group, VBS, school, clubs, business, alumni networks, family, the web, social media, and more.
Grace Chebobei
My name is Grace Chebobei, and I am a Woman of Change from Cherangan’y, Kenya. Four years ago, I quit brewing changa’a. I can still remember how my eyes and lungs burned as I would spend hours a day in my brewing hut fighting off customers and making a drink that I knew was killing them. I was responsible for many fights; my drink sometimes would cause sickness to those who drank it. I was a problem for the police and the chief; even my kids were scared of me.
Everyone in my village knows how my life used to be and cannot believe the change that has happened since I attended training with ELI. I am a leader in my community in various organizations. Recently I was elected treasurer for my church. I am also the board of management treasurer of the secondary school nearby. When I am not leading meetings, I invite women to my farm, where I share how to have a God-honoring income through poultry farming and kitchen gardening. Once my home held brawling drunkards, but it is now used as a place to laugh and learn new skills for the women in my village. All who want to learn are welcome. It makes me so happy to know I can help my village and bring good things to my community through my leadership.
