It isn’t until the third day that the women begin to inch closer from the third row. Josephine, who has educated thousands of Kenyan women, realizes from day one that they are sitting back and are only allowed to repeat the answers given by men. One hundred and fifty women are gathered together, ready for a week of learning that will improve their mindset and transform their lives. By the end of the week, this is exactly what has happened.
Josephine, SowHope’s beloved partner of 17 years, is dedicated to uplifting women and helping them to see their inner strength and gifts. Her approach is simple yet profound, beginning with love, compassion, and hope for women’s lives to be different. Over the course of a week, she helps women tap into their inherent value. Soon, these women recognize their worth and can envision a future where they are independent, operating their own businesses, and doing work they are passionate about. This newfound empowerment allows them to nurture their families with peace and honor.
Josephine says, “By interacting with women, I realized that they have a lot of untapped resources, wealth, and worth. When women are empowered through education, skills, and love, they realize who they are in the face of God and utilize all they have to improve their livelihood.”
Remarkably, Josephine has made a significant difference in the lives of over 15,000 Kenyan women since partnering with SowHope in 2008. She is tireless in her efforts to help women discover their gifts and potential, ultimately changing their lives, the culture, and the communities in which they live.
