Teaching Congolese Women The Skills Needed To Survive And Provide

howFar operates five Women's Development Centers in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, where in-crisis widowed and abused women can receive support.  At these centers, women are given the chance to learn life-changing skills, like sewing, so that they are able to provide for themselves and their children.

This opportunity is one that would not be possible without help from howFar and our generous supporters.  We provide sewing machines, along with the needed materials for the women to learn the trade.  Once they master the skill, they can use the items, or sell them to feed their families.  

Your donations help support women who cannot help themselves.  howFar will you go?
