East Asia - Hands of Hope

Originally empowering women affected by Hansen’s Disease, Hands of Hope now also empowers other marginalized people, including young women who are orphans, some who have escaped trafficking. Although they are marginalized, they are overcoming stigma and hardships.

Many of the original women have become self-sufficient, and have secured employment outside Hands of Hope. A core group continues to reach out with training and love to others who need training, mentoring and the hope that they also can overcome.
