The Power Of A Beautiful Gift

We believe the quality of your giving says a lot about the depth of your love.

Quality matters. It matters in our personal lives as individuals – and it matters in our giving too. That’s one of the reasons we are so proud of what we are accomplishing together through the Sew Powerful Purse program. Together we are elevating giving to an art! Over the years we’ve had the honor of meeting a huge number of Sew Powerful purse makers. They are making absolutely incredible purses that are going to girls in Zambia. Every year we receive a mountain of boxes filled with these lovingly made purses. While some organizations might be tempted to push for quantity over quality, that is certainly not the case here. We understand that for some girls in our program, maybe for most of these girls, your purse is the most precious gift they have ever received.

Time – The Most Powerful Gift

We are all so busy, trying to keep up, trying to meet our own needs, those of our family, our job, our church. Taking the time to do complex and detailed work on a purse for a girl you will likely never meet is a radical act of love – a powerful and selfless gift! But the purses aren’t the only gift we are giving to the girls in Zambia. What we are really giving – which is much more valuable – is our time – that is the most powerful and beautiful gift we can possibly give to these girls in need.

Rick Warren probably said it best when he said, “Time is your most precious gift because you only have a set amount of it. You can make more money, but you can’t make more time. When you give someone your time, you are giving them a portion of your life that you’ll never get back. Your time is your life. That is why the greatest gift you can give someone is your time.”

P.S. If you are excited about this program and believe it is making a real difference – we’d love to have you join us financially and give your best gift today. Every dollar is a huge blessing and goes to help support the seamstresses in Zambia who we employ to make reusable hygiene supplies, soap, which along with underwear will be put in your purse and given to a schoolgirl to change her life.
