The Mama Lynn Center, a refuge for sexually abused women who have been abandoned by their villages, husbands, and children, provides a place to learn skills such as sewing, cooking, and soap-making while also helping women reconnect with what they have lost.
The center is currently building a three-room schoolhouse, which now has a roof and walls. To complete the floor, ceiling, windows, desks, tables, and chairs, $24,000 is still needed. Because the building must be protected from tropical storms, the funds are urgently needed.
An anonymous donor has pledged to match gifts up to $12,000 for donations made by October 19. Contributions may be given online by clicking here or by check (please write “Mama Lynn Center” in the memo line).
