Capixaba leads project in Africa

  Businesswoman promotes action to support a missionary project in Kenya through food donations and professional training. The next goal is to open water wells Businesswoman Penha Arraz from Espírito Santo, founder of the ‘Amor Sem Fronteiras’ project, has been dedicated for the past four years to helping missionary projects in Kenya, an Eastern African country. This initiative was born in 2019 during a visit to the country, where the businesswoman managed, through her network of relationships, the help of entrepreneurs, friends, and a chain of supporters, to bring donations and feed several tribes. In 2022, she advanced further by opening a school-salon (Spazio Quênia) on site, and in addition to providing food support, contributed to the professional training of several widowed and refugee women. "A glorious victory that restores the self-esteem of these women, often widows, single, and in need of a source of income, ensuring sustenance, work, and dignity for their families. For 2023, the goal is to open water wells in a dry place where people die of hunger and, mainly, of thirst," she reveals. The initial cost to install a well with everything they need to have water would be around R$ 70,000. However, Pastor Francisco received the machine from the United States, which reduced the cost to R$ 40,000. "They need water! The need for support and care is urgent! I know that alone I cannot do much or almost anything, but I know that together we can do a lot. Any donation is very important, whether it’s R$ 1.00 or any amount you can afford," she expresses. Penha Arraz's action has been essential in helping the community in Kenya, and to achieve the goal of building the wells, she is raising money by selling customized t-shirts for the project and accepting donations through Pix: asfronteirasbr@gmail.com About Penha Arraz The founder of the Amor Sem Fronteiras project had a humble childhood in the Boa Vista community in Vila Velha.
