A message from Steve
As I write this letter, we are all in the midst of a year like no other in living memory. Because of Covid-19, a domino effect has taken place all over the world. Travel stopped, church attendance was stopped or limited, businesses shut down, and unemployment skyrocketed. Perhaps worst of all, the vast majority of day laborers around the developing world suddenly were without the ability to feed their families. As a result of the generosity of our donors and the heroic efforts of our partners in multiple countries, since March 26th, Impact Nations has been able to distribute well over a million meals to the desperately hungry.
In spite of the travel restrictions and the various challenges that we all have faced, Impact Nations has been determined to not stop going forward. Besides feeding tens of thousands of people, we have kept working with our partners to provide funding and support for skills and business training, and for start-up loans. A team of young women who were rescued from the streets of Uganda are now working together to produce government approved masks, thereby providing them with steady income and re-investment into their business. Young women in India are receiving training in sewing skills. Young men and women from the slums of Kampala have been trained in graphic design –– in fact, many of the designs on our product page were created by them. Likewise, you will see Christmas gifts created by young people rescued in Nepal. So you see, Impact Nations has not stayed still for a moment in this year of crisis.
It is vital that people move beyond receiving food to survive. What they need is the skills to rebuild their lives: skills and business training, mentoring, and start-up loans. There is a wide variety of items in this year’s catalog, and I encourage you to look at them all. However, if there is just one thing that you want to give to, please consider making it one of our Skills and Business projects.
For so many, this year rescuing lives means rebuilding lives.
Thank you for partnering with Impact Nations at this historic and crucial time. And have a wonderful Christmas.
