About the Family Crafts Ministry

Helping Create Sustainable Futures

The Family Crafts Ministry helps local single mothers and their families through the support of their primary means of income - the paper bead industry. However, while we are happy to help these women achieve short-term, immediate needs such as food, shelter, and school tuition, we believe that leading them to a self-sufficient future is the key to true freedom. Through a family sponsorship, you can help a family transition from subsistence living to financial independence. $100 per month for five years will provide training and support, discipleship and oversight that will move these families from the darkness of the slums into the bright futures God has planned.
