Along with mentoring and discipleship...we have offered
everything from cooking classes and parenting tips...to
health information and counseling. Our program is continually
changing, to keep in step with the needs of our current
mothers.
We have also taught the women jewelry making, sewing skills and the art of wall stenciling. With these skills they have created the beautiful products you see featured on this site, which have sold both locally here in Africa and online internationally.
Proudly South African! Products sewn by mothers in Africa working hard to provide for their families.
When you buy EmpowerAMom.com hand-made products, YOU create jobs in Africa and empower moms.

Julie founded "Motherhood is Beautiful" in 2010, an initiative to disiciple women from under-resourced communities, teach job skills and create businesses.
In 2013, Julie and Marina joined forces and created EmpowerAMom.com, a business created to walk a journey with single moms, teach sewing and jewelry-making skills and create exciting business opportunities.
In 2015 Julie returned to the US after living in South Africa for 5 years and misses the beautiful African people!
Living in the US now, she continues to assist with marketing and product ideas. It is wonderful to be able to still support these incredible women and mothers...even across the ocean! |
