Engaging with thousands of girls over multiple days, their goal is to foster open dialogue and provide factual insights on these significant issues. During each visit, the teams also distribute essential supplies, including pads and underwear, as well as helpful information and resources to both girls and boys. The team also facilitates seminars on communication, conflict resolution, and relevant topics at the Owade\u2019s church, Abundant Love Mission Church.<\/p><p>The team celebrates the achievements of women graduating from the sewing course. After connecting with the NITA government training program, Pam and Susan implemented enhancements to the sewing program by incorporating their curriculum. This not only strengthens the quality of training but also provides graduates with a government-recognized certificate upon completion, creating greater opportunities for employment and business growth. Enrollment in the program has nearly doubled as a result, and 15 additional sewing machines have been added to the classroom to support this growth.<\/p><p>Pam and Susan have implemented an extension to the sewing program that enables graduates to earn their own sewing machines and support their goals of launching their own businesses. To date, 60 sewing machines have been distributed, and 35 graduates have started their own sewing businesses. Additional washable sanitary pads are sewn by the graduates for distribution throughout Kenya with the POD Mission Project<\/p><p>Owing to the project&#8217;s success, POD team to returns annually, expanding their sessions. Pam and Susan continue to develop the scope of this mission project. Pam, along with Pastors Susan and Robert Owade, will be visiting schools and tribal groups in the Kisumu region near Lake Victoria in May and September 2026. This area, located approximately 7 to 9 hours from Nairobi, is significantly impacted by poverty.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
