The widows of Guatemala
The goal of this women’s community is to create a community cooperative where previously homeless women can live, sustain, and fully support themselves. This community will be the educational vehicle to break the cycle of poverty that women, most of whom are widows, have lived under for generations. Beneficiary women will be able to live and raise their children in the safety of their own home and community…and they can learn skills that enable them to start their own businesses.
All who live on this property will be expected to contribute to the community and invest in the future of their families by learning skills for home-based businesses and sustenance such as sustainable farming, kitchen hygiene, animal management, birthing and milk hygiene, community service, maintaining public spaces, learning literacy, and working and saving as a group.
Through this new Women’s Community Cooperative, Send Me is breaking the chains of poverty that have bound women and their families for generations. When you give, you are not only creating a new opportunity for women in need, but a new life for future generations.
