Jayamma and her daughter have started a new vegetable business. This is one of about 14 small projects which we hope to do as funds are available. In our current position, we hope to do more than half of these projects in 2022, the remainder in '23 (Lord willing). These projects are to help those on our widows & elderly lists to earn some income for themselves. By themselves they would not be able to cover the startup costs involved. Jayamma (left with the dark glasses because of a cataract surgery) is a widow since about 2008. She and her daughter (right) currently live together, the daughter's husband dying with AIDS, and the daughter having HIV as a result. We have purchased them a cart, veggies, scales and rented a shop from which they can work and keep their supplies. We rented a shop in a nearby town to their village, their village too small to generate sufficient income. They have also invested some of their own money (or took a loan) to purchase some other items. Please pray for the Lord's blessing upon this small business so that they both can live without the financial burdens.
