Womens Development Updates

We are thrilled to announce the official opening of the newly constructed Discovery and Development Center (House of Hope) in Nepal!

Designed with innovation in mind, the facility is built entirely from deconstructable materials, allowing it to be moved, renovated, or expanded as needed. With increased capacity, the center can now accommodate 26 girls at a time, and it features two new therapy rooms and, for the first time, a dedicated space for hard skills training.

The girls are already enjoying fellowship in their new meeting area while their children play and bond on the beautiful property playground.

We are committed to a holistic approach in our skills and business projects, which includes making time for fun and building lasting bonds. Early motherhood and the pressures of establishing a livelihood should not prevent these young women from enjoying self-care. For them, play is therapy.

Recently, the girls at the School of Purpose participated in inter-regional competitions, with teams from three different regions competing in netball, bottle-filling, sack races, dance competitions, and a Bible quiz. Through these activities, the girls not only showcased their talents but also learned valuable life skills like teamwork, support, and mental resilience. The entire community in Luuka came out to cheer them on, creating a unifying and joyful atmosphere.

Team Lyantonde took the gold, with Kampala girls finishing second and Luuka girls placing third. After the games, a time of worship led by Pastor Isaac culminated in a moment of fellowship, resulting in 49 community members giving their lives to Christ.

The House of Hope recently celebrated the graduation of seven young women from the Development Center. This milestone marks the beginning of a new chapter in their journey toward independence.

The Development Center serves as a safe haven for vulnerable young women and their children, offering refuge from situations of abuse or neglect. During their time at the center, these women experience love, counseling, and practical life skills, all within a nurturing, family-like environment.

Some may stay for just a few months, while others require support for years. Regardless of their journey, the goal remains the same: to empower them with the tools they need to build self-sufficient, dignified lives.

This December The School of Purpose graduated 830 girls from areas of Luuka district, Lyantonde district and Kampala! Girls were able to learn a variety of skills including Hairdressing, Tailoring baking, Liquid soap and shampoo making, reusable pad making, Basket making, crafts making, Business basics, Life skills among others.

"Many parents and individuals who referred girls to us were unable to identify these girls because of their healing and change."

-The Remnant Generation

Sewing is a highly demanded skill among women in India and Nepal. The leader of the effort in India stated “There is no way a woman trained in sewing would not find work”. This semester a total of 55 women will gain sewing training; 30 in Nepal and 25 in India. In these 8 month programs women learn the practical skill of making clothes as well gain spiritual confidence that God intends for them to have a life of sustainability and prosperity. During a recent trip to India, our project manager was able to meet 15 of the new students. All of the girls are eager learners and are elated to be in the classroom mastering this new skill. It is always a blessing to witness education and the beautiful Gospel work hand in hand to bring hope and change lives for generations.

The feedback is soooo encouraging. The team at KIBO Group went all the way with the training. They adopted the material for their community programs reaching over 3000 beneficiaries in schools & families in villages, had a training with all staff (34), and the personal testimonies of those who attended are very uplifting
