Elsa F.

Devastated by a brush with death and bankruptcy

Elsa is married and has three children. Her husband was a security guard for a local bank, but after suffering a stroke, all the work and burden for supporting the family fell on Elsa’s shoulders. In addition, the company that she sewed for went into bankruptcy and she was left doing odds job to feed her family. Currently, she sews bags, face masks and rags.

How she got started in this livelihood project:

When Ginapadala International received a large order from Work of Your Hand, it was perfect timing for Elsa. She is a niece to one of the sewers, and due to her intricate sewing skills, she became the principle sewer for juice pack wallets. Thankfully her husband is making a slow recovery and her three children are excelling in school. Her eldest daughter Rachel has again received first class honours in her second year of high school. Indeed the Lord has been faithful to bring small joys in the midst of devastating circumstances.
