In 2009, a Bible study was
started that consisted of a
partnership between Ginger
Peterson and a group of single
mothers and widows from the
Kibera Slum in Nairobi, Kenya.
Soon after, God called Ginger to
establish a training center, The
Baraka Women’s Center. ‘Baraka’
is the Swahili word for blessing,
and after much hard work and
through God’s provision, the
Baraka Women's Center has
truly become a blessing. It now
functions as a training center
that teaches women from Kibera
Slum sewing expertise and other
life skills. The program accepts
new students on a regular basis
and at graduation, each women
receives a sewing machine to
help kickstart her business.
Your purchase will directly
support those women who have
graduated from the training
program and provide them with
a means to support their family.
