The Women’s Transformational Community Development (TCD) group conducted a research project to increase income for Mrs. Umm Hanan, a widow who needed to support herself. The Income Generation Committee conducted a project to produce bedding, blankets, and sheets, which she sold from her home to neighbors and relatives. Her circumstances began to improve, and she bought another small amount of bedding, sold it, made a profit, and bought more. She said, “This project really helps my family, and my financial situation has improved. It meets my needs and the needs of my house and children.”

We continued to offer TCD lessons in the children’s class, and Jessica, age 11, said, “I was always quick to talk and react with my friends and family, and they would get really annoyed with me. But after learning about wisdom from the TCD group, I decided to be wise in my words, actions, and playtime and let everyone see that.” This little girl’s behavior began to change at home and with her friends.

Thank you,
