RETURN TO DIGNITYCATALOGUE 2015
Living Hope is the journey of empowerment that lifts women from desperation to a life of purpose.
For decades, women have been the most marginalised and wounded people in Africa.Watoto’s Living Hope works to restore dignity to vulnerable women. Many of the women are HIV+ and have
been victims of human trafficking, left to bear the brunt of AIDS, war and social injustice.
Through Living Hope, the women learn their true value in Christ. As they heal and begin to understand they are loved and capable of doing great things, the women start to believe in themselves again. They learn
that their stories aren’t over and, though they can’t rewrite the past, they can regain control of their future. Living Hope equips the women with necessary life skills and empowers them to provide a better life for their
families and become leaders in their communities.
Launched in early 2008, Living Hope has transformed the lives of over 3,000 women. Their children, more than 15,000 boys and girls, now have a better chance at a future.
Throughout the catalogue, meet some of our Living Hope leaders and explore the products they’ve designed. Each item in the collection has been named after these heroic women.

“RETURN TO DIGNITY is the story of women who realise that they don’t have to be victims. Instead,
they understand that they have the potential to rise above their circumstances. They can be empowered.
They can shine as beacons of hope in their communities.”
“God has a purpose for every one of us. We all have our own struggles and I pray that the stories in this book will inspire you through whatever trials you
face in life. I pray that you will find strength, courage and hope.” Marilyn Skinner
