The Garment Project

Several months ago I met with a national friend who has become a mentor and encourager. She challenged me to really seek the Father as to how I and our team can engage more women, especially women who have never heard. I begin asking the Father for wisdom and ideas for entry into new areas. I spoke with my dear friend Sarah about some things I had been thinking and we brainstormed ideas together. I then talked with some other girls on my team and discovered the Father had put the same idea on her heart as well. And so we began The Garment Project.

What is the Garment Project?

Many women in South Asia have little understanding of how their bodies work and why certain things, like monthly bleeding, happen. In addition, they have little, if no, access to costly disposable sanitary products. What do they use? Scraps of cloth, newspaper, or nothing at all. Whatever they do use they simply dispose of it wherever they can.
Some other women in our company developed a simple health training that explains how the Father made women's bodies and what happens each month. Along with the training are some stories from the Word that speak to women's hearts and share the good news. After the training is complete we provide the women with a kit that contains reusable sanitary products, underwear, soap, detergent bar and a washcloth.

Our hope with this project is to meet a physical need as we share the hope of the g0spel with women in South Asia. The Garment Project allows us entry into homes and the opportunity to speak with only women. We want to return to those homes who are seeking and share more stories from the Word.

I am so thankful for the partnerships of several fellowships that have given of their time and finances to help with this project. Thank you to three of my supporting fellowships(Calvary, Summit, and ETBC) for sacrificing your time and sewing sanitary pads for the women of South Asia. Thank you to many others that have given financially to buy soap, underwear, detergent, and washcloths.
