Mwiinga Family Business

Mutinta Mwiinga #1197, age 3 is in need of a sponsor.

Here is the Mwiinga family that I spoke of in the last post.  We now know that Mrs. Mwiinga's daughter Mutinta attends Dindi CHILDHOPE supported ECCDE center.  Now, we know that this village that they live in- that we could not find any other sponsored children in- is close to Dindi.  There are plenty of families and women in our program in Dindi.  If anyone sponsors a child in Dindi and would like to contribute to starting up a sewing cooperative for the women, let me know.  We would need the names of the families (maybe 5 to 6 women).  Then, the Zambia team could speak with those women and determine if they are good candidates for the business (i.e. already know how to sew). 

If several women are involved, we could help several families.  Plus, the start up cost would be less when divided among 5 or 6 sponsors- whose sponsored children/women are participating.   Mrs. Mwiinga would still be the one in charge of the supplies, but the earnings would be split among the group according to the work.  It would be great if we could purchase the uniforms from them!

Such a deserving family!!  You can see that through all of Mrs. Mwiinga's obstacles, she remains happy hearted.  I am not sure I would be talking and laughing with a smile in her situation.  She speaks of Jordan not having food, but I know she would go without food to provide for him... So, if he has no food, there is just no telling how empty her stomach is!!  And, all she wants is a way to help herself!  Here in the states, she would get a monthly check for her disability- not in Zambia!  Though she is clearly disabled, if her family needs food- she is the one that must figure out how to provide that- disability or no disability!
