ABOUT THE ARTISAN

 

Miujiza, meaning miracle in Swahili, is a Mercy House Global artisan group that embodies miraculous transformations. Made up mostly of the grandmothers of the teen moms at our Rehema House maternity homes in Kenya, these women have become highly skilled weavers. Their work is a testament to breaking the cycle of generational poverty from grandmother to teen mother to baby. Just as the fibers of this blanket are intricately laced together, your support is woven into their redemption story, making it a true work of art.

MEET THE ARTISAN: Penina

 

Penina was one of the first women to join Miujiza, a community group created to provide dignified work opportunities for mothers and guardians of Rehema House beneficiaries. Before joining the program, she struggled to provide for her four daughters while enduring poverty and an abusive marriage. With little education and few job opportunities, she often searched door to door for work just to secure food for her family.

 

After her eldest daughter entered the Rehema House program, Penina’s life began to change. In 2017, she was offered the opportunity to train as a weaver through Miujiza. Though she had never woven before, she quickly developed a love for the craft and became a skilled artisan.

 

Today, Penina is able to provide food, pay school fees, care for her family, and even save for the future. She especially enjoys weaving rugs and is deeply grateful for the opportunity that restored hope, stability, and dignity to her life.
