MAMA OLIVE
Mama Olive is the sole caregiver for her daughter. Before joining Handspun Hope, she worked as a housekeeper but struggled to find consistent employment. Without reliable income, providing food, paying rent, and planning for the future felt uncertain.
Since beginning her work in 2021, she has found something more than a job — she has found community.
“To work alongside others, away from isolation, makes me happy. I dream of owning my own piece of land so I may grow potatoes.”

The Women of Handspun Hope
We are called to serve the women in the Northern Province of Rwanda. Each woman in our community has overcome loss, marginalization, or abandonment. Many are the sole providers for their families. Some are living with HIV, and most are caring for multiple children—including those of deceased family members.
Yet none of them allow circumstance to define their worth. We can’t wait for you to meet the women of Handspun Hope!
