January 2010:
Emmanuel Handicrafts helps many impoverished families climb out of poverty by creating job opportunities. To minister more holistically, Bright Hope has come along side them to help support the children. Education is a large financial burden for poor families in India and often consumes a large percentage of their yearly earnings.
While these families are fully aware of the importance of education for a better future for their children they often have a difficult time covering the cost of school fees, uniforms and stationary. To ease the burden we are helping Emmanuel Handicrafts support 50 artisan families, enabling them to send their children to school by covering the costs. It’s a blessing to these families who can now use their earnings to buy the essentials like food.
