Women’s Giving Project Mozambique, Africa

Bags of Hope

In Mozambican language, Kulangutela translates to “hope,” and that is what the knitted bag project provides for the women in this desperately poor country. The bags were designed for the purpose of carrying vegetables and for the women to learn a trade skill.

An original pattern was devised, materials were obtained, and knitting needles were handmade by the congregation. The team from The Chapel included five women. These five women were taught knitting skills that they in turn passed on to one hundred village women. In one week, the village women learned to knit despite the language barrier. Six months later a new team took more materials, dye, and beads. The village women had not forgotten their knitting skills and were able to create unique bags that they can now sell.

Some women chose to keep and use their bags, while others chose to sell theirs to the team from The Chapel. Proceeds from the sale of these bags in the U.S. will be reinvested in the project to provide materials and income for the villages. Ultimately the goal is for the people of Chaimite and Koka Misava to undertake the operation of this business as a source of income for their villages.

Our prayer is that through this project, hearts will be opened to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
