365 days year, we give a grant to changemakers across the globe.
Today’s Featured Grantee is:
Dusabimana Christine – Carpet Making Skill Based Training for Kinyinya Women
Carpet Making Skill Based Training for Kinyinya Women is a project involving the gathering of women and young girls and training them on carpet making and personal finances for self-reliance. Due to the high levels of prostitution in the region, women and young girls need to be engaged in productive work leading to empowerment. Dusabimana Christine is a leader in her church's relief society and thus was moved to help her fellow women to be independent and come closer to God. The funds will help her acquire project materials, and costs associated with travel, printing, and promotional needs.

It’s only when compassion follows that I’m helpful, when I use that empathy as fuel to act.
Finding Zen in Banyan Grove—and Learning How to De-Clutter My “House”
I knew that for about six days, I would be physically quiet (the most physically quiet I had ever been in my life!). I knew that I would sit down and try to focus on my breath for many minutes every day, and that I would probably experience withdrawal symptoms from mindlessly clicking around on my phone.
