THE NEED

A mother will be able to serve her community from home while raising her two children by her own example.

WHY IT MATTERS

This mother became interested in massage therapy at a young age. She took courses, completed them, and went looking for work in hotel areas. During her first year of work, she became pregnant for the first time, and as a new mother, she had to make the difficult decision to leave her baby to continue working. Seeing how hard that was, she decided to return home. She considers herself a mother who embraces motherhood, prioritizing raising her children. Unemployed, she decided to start her own business from home to help with the household expenses and cover the cost of her mother's medication. She began with a single massage table and gradually gained clients, although the lack of job opportunities in her area caused the business to experience some difficulties.

With the necessary support, she will be able to offer spa services and therapies so that people in her community don't have to travel far to receive care. The church will support this process with training workshops.
