African Bead necklace Project-Poverty Afflicted Slum Women Crying for Help.

A group of poverty stricken women in Kayole’s Soweto Slums, Nairobi, Kenya have
come together and formed a women group with a simple goal, “check dehumanizing poverty” that has afflicted them and their families’ since the dawn of time. They were born into poverty, brought, raised and lived in poverty all their lives. Their children have also fallen victims to the same poverty cycle which is very difficulty to get out off due to lack of education, employment opportunity and trade craft training. Therefore these women have decided to fight back and are appealing for your help in their battle against poverty.
Suffering Single Parents:
Majority of these women are single parents with out any meaningful sources of income because they never had an opportunity to acquire proper and useful education that would help them find employment. They can’t find self-employment either because they have no access to credit facilities due to lack of loan security documents. They live in a world neglected by the government and the rest of the world because nobody cares enough to highlight their plight. Yet they are undergoing immense suffering day in day out.
WINCEP Wants To Reach Out:
That’s why Wisdom Nest Community Education Programme, (WINCEP), a local Self Help Organization, is reaching out to these women who happen to be parents in our needy slum children school, Wisdom Nest Primary, and helping them generate income for themselves and families. WINCEP has no capacity to meet this challenge on its own. We need your support and partnership in helping these women and families fight poverty for the benefit of their children’s future and the community.

The Project is Environment Friendly:
The women have come up with a unique environment friendly project, African Beads Necklace Project, which uses expired calendar paper to produce hand made beads. They then use these beads to make beautiful necklaces and earrings of different designs, sizes and colors. Since the project is recycling used calendar paper we can safely say that these women are helping clean up the environment.
Employments Creation:
Apart from generating income, the project will continue to train and create employment for slum young women as bead makers. Then bead making skills shall be passed on to more slum dwellers. Some trainees’ will find work here while others will self-employ after they acquire the skills.

Profits Sharing:
Profits from this project will be shared between the Project, Women group and Wisdom Nest Primary School. This Project helps woman generate income for herself and her family while her child gets education at Wisdom Nest Primary School courtesy of this project.
