"Her children rise up and call her blessed; and her husband boasts of and praises her."
Proverbs 31:28

Favor is empowering women in rural villages throughout Uganda and South Sudan, where we bring awareness through education. We empower 50 women at a time, in each village, with training and activation of a sustainable livelihood project, in order to feed and educate their own children.
|
|
Training includes corporate team projects, savings and loans, financial budgeting, entrepreneurship, Biblical studies and discipleship, anti-abortion, ending gender based violence, marriage, and eradicating sexual exploitation of children.
|
|
The results have been astounding! We've seen:
- Many salvations
- Marriages restored
- Children being educated
- Businesses started
- Homes built
- Church growth
- Women empowered to preach, teach, and evangelize
- Economic status improved
- Abortion abolished
- Sex trafficking prevented

God is doing a lot in the field through Women Empowerment projects.
Here is Paska from Loyoboo Women empowerment site in Unyama, Gulu District. She has such a powerful testimony!
Paska suffered from domestic violence and planned to abort her child. But God!
There was a teaching on the dangers of abortions that happened in the local center and immediately Paska joined the group. Although she was stressed and bitter since her husband mistreated her and neglected her after conception, she cried and decided to keep her precious son. He is now healthy and alive, sitting next to her as shown in this beautiful picture above!
Paska is so thankful for God and for Women Empowerment which helped transform her life and save her baby boy!

Adong is so happy that God has used Favor's Women Empowerment project to bless her life! She is a widow and it made her finances tough. But thanks to the project, she can now pay her children and grandchildren's school fees, can afford her medical bills, and is even able to eat well and feed her entire family!
What's even more incredible is that God used this project to rescue her from brewing a toxic local brew and leave her old dark ways behind. She even surrender her life to Christ and accepted Him as Lord of her life!
She now has 4 cows and is living a transformed life for Jesus and helping her family move forward towards a brighter future in HIM!
To God be the glory!

As mentioned above one of our many focuses is to eradicate sexual exploitation and trafficking among the children. When foreigners come to the villages with offers of jobs in Saudi Arabia for their children, most think it will provide them with a better life.
But with education of these vices and traps, many mothers now testify, 'When the men come to our villages to offer to take our girls away for an education and jobs, we chase them away! Thank you Favor for the teaching and awareness you are bringing us to save our children, and helping us to be able to feed and educate them ourselves!"

Unfortunately, we aren't able to reach some in time and they sadly say, "We didn't know.', or 'Why did you delay in coming?"
|
|
You can help us reach these villages before these evil and greedy traffickers come to snatch this precious generation of young children!
