This is the year we expanded our partnerships throughout the global village! We have expanded from education in the K-12 setting to supporting the entrepreneurial training of women in micro-business. Purpose Global Village has joined the Rweru Women’s Empowerment Project in Rwanda. We were able to purchase sewing machines for women involved with Rweru Women’s Empowerment Project. In turn, many of the women involved in this program are learning entrepreneurial skills to create and develop their business. Partnering with local artisans gives us an opportunity to support, grow and collaborate in the country of Rwanda. We are thrilled for the opportunity to return to Rwanda and have a closer relationship and presence within the community, it’s been 5 years since we traveled to Rwanda, we’re really excited to return to this beautiful country.
Our Relationships
In January we traveled to Ghana to reconnect with our partners and plan our work for the new decade. We have learned the needs of our schools in Bolgatanga Ghana and we look forward to raising funds to provide sports equipment, textbooks, school supplies, and other educational supplies. Upcoming teacher collaboration and workshops will also take place in the coming year. It feels incredibly good to make a positive impact on the global community but the real blessing is received by PGV because we are able to see beautiful places and meet lovely people while on our journey. It’s always a marvelous adventure with memorable experiences.
Our Travel
By the end of the year, we will have traveled to over 15 African Countries and we really look forward to returning to the continent of Africa each year. We are passionate about traveling and sharing the beauty of Africa with our customers and clients! In January, we led a group tour to Ghana and the proceeds went to Purpose Global Village Fund! We plan on returning to Ghana in June 2020 as well as other countries, so check out my Instagram or Facebook page African Travel and More for the big reveal of where we are going next!
