These embroidery products are made by the Ruth Project in one of our partner dioceses, the diocese of Antisiranana in northern Madagascar. It is led by Alice Chung, wife of bishop Roger. Its purpose is the spiritual and economic transformation of the women involved. Ruth was set up with funding from the Mothers Union here in the UK.

Regularly 15 members depend on the proceeds from the embroidery. The majority are in their 40s, but they include two grandmother in their 60s. Otherwise they are dependent on occasional income from selling cakes or vegetables. They meet for prayer and Bible study every Saturday afternoon. There is one project which aims to connect running water to the Ruth members' houses. One Ruth member is also an Evangelist from the cathedral involved in adult literacy work, recently teaching a 48 year old grandmother to read.

These are beautifully made products through which we can support this ministry among the poor.'
