Hilary is joining in Women Walking for Women - WW4W

Story

Over the weekend of 19-20th September I will be walking 10 miles raising funds for Rope. WW4W 2020 will be Rope's 4th walking event. For the safety of everyone the event is being run, or walked, from people's homes.

We want to change the lives of women in the Democratic Republic of Congo, like Jeanne. 

Jeanne, a bright young woman, was robbed of hope through prostitution, but with Rope’s support she can dream again. Each woman who comes to the BOMO centre in Kinshasa, DR Congo, has experienced much hardship in her young life. Many begin their life of prostitution as teenagers due to extreme poverty and family breakdown.

They have hopes and dreams, but sell their bodies each day just to eat. Rope and partners, BOMO, want to help these women to unlock their childhood dreams and begin to hope again. BOMO’s residential programme offers vocational training in sewing, tailoring and in a loving and caring Christ-centred home so they can re-build their lives.
