One of the most important realizations we have made is that this concept of "empowerment" reaches far beyond economics. The true empowerment we have been able witness through our programs in Northern Uganda is the shift in one's self-perception, a shift in how a person views their world and their ability to accomplish their goals. Akello Welsy Olara has been empowered to re-write the future for not only herself, but for her family as well. The confidence she carries with her is exuberant and inspiring. http://krochetkids.org
