Elizabeth was so excited about the recent tailoring training she received from the Evangelical Covenant Church of South Sudan that she named her baby “Sewing Machine.” Elizabeth is a widow who is using her new skills to sew clothing, which she then sells to merchants in the market. Forty-two widows have received tailoring training this year in the CWR funded Hope for Widows project.
Thank you for this! I am a writer, and I’ve been all over the world interviewing women. None have so moved me as those dear women in South Sudan.

Thanks, Kay. South Sudanese women are amazing, aren’t they? I deeply admire their perseverance, their grace, and their strength.
