PROVERBS 31 WOMEN
Widowed. Destitute. HIV-positive. These
words could be used to describe the women
of the Proverbs 31 artisan group in Uganda.
But as they make colorful, attractive beaded

RAHAB’S ROPE
SAMARITAN CREATIONS
Mary grew up in an orphanage in
India with a bleak outlook for her
future. When time came for her
to leave the orphanage she was
deceived by an offer of marriage and
found herself instead in a brothel.
She escaped and tried to commit
suicide multiple times, the last
time by eating glass. A member of
Rahab’s Rope artisan group found
her dying in the street and brought
her to the center. Many young
women like Mary have found a
lifeline at Rahab’s Rope, where they
discover new opportunities as they
make handcrafted jewelry.
Samaritan Creations exists to rescue, restore, and
empower women by the grace and love of God. By
offering women an alternative income to prostitution,
we both rescue them from the trap of selling their
bodies and empower them to alter the course of their
lives. Through the telling and living out of God’s love,
the rescued women are restored to a right relationship
with God and others. Via entrepreneurial training and
funding, Samaritan Creations empowers women to
return to their hometowns to plant churches, alter the
local economy, and forewarn people of the trap of
prostitution.
Pen, a 23-year-old estranged from her parents,
started working full-time as dishwasher in the redlight districts of Bangkok, Thailand, at the age of 9.
She continued to work in various jobs in go-go and
show bars throughout Bangkok. The jobs varied, but
the hypersexualized atmosphere stayed the same.
Pen’s life changed when Thom, herself a former
go-go bar worker, met Pen one night. Thom informed
Pen about the hope and love of God, which was
shown to her through Samaritan Creations. Pen was
interested, as no one has ever really shown her love,
much less hope. Pen quit bar work, joining Samaritan
Creations.
At Samaritan Creations, Pen, surrounded by
patient and loving people, encountered a loving family
unlike anything she had ever experienced before.
WorldCraftsSM provides an outlet for the women
of Samaritan Creations to not only sell products they
produce but also to change their lives.

NAAPOK-NANYOK
Although the Maasai women of Tanzania
who formed Nanyok are no longer
nomadic, their lives revolve around
livestock. The five-month dry season
kills the grass, leaving the goats to die,
meaning no milk for Maasai children.
Each eight-strand beaded bracelet or
ornament sold creates a savings fund for
new goats to replace any that die. In a
recent year, the women saved $150 from
their handmade products and bought
15 goats to nourish their children.
