Women of Hope
Download the latest newsletter of Women of Hope here. Namaziba is the name of the village next to Hope Land and Namaziba means a place of deep sorrow from which no good can come. In the past Namaziba has been infamous for drunkeness and poverty and as a place of widows and people living with HIV infection. The women of hope ministry was founded to reach out to the women of Namaziba through fellowship groups, prayer and bible study but as relationships were built with the women it also became obvious that they have many practical needs and the Women of Hope ministry has also been aiming to meet some of these. Women attending the meetings testify that their lives have been transformed as they've learnt to trust God and mend broken relationships. They have also received hope and encouragement. Namaziba is also changing with drunkeness greatly reduced and a gradual reduction in poverty. Now Women of Hope includes women from several other villages too and the women have formed themselves into special interest groups such as those living with HIV and widows. Through generous donations we have been able to build a house for one of the women and help many with food and small household items. Many of their children are also receiving education at Hope Land pre-school. page under construction
