Mission Statement:
To provide a supportive environment for individuals to challenge themselves to a task that provides them with a feeling of empowerment that they can carry into their daily life. Empowerment is a feeling of confidence that an individual obtains after accomplishing something that took courage, persistence and determination. If one woman can empower herself she will begin to create a domino effect onto other women, family members and people in her community to do the same.
