486152457_debbieGenerations Impact was created to train orphans and former sex workers how to design and create jewelry design and wall hangings. The business will soon include tannery products to further generate income.

Deborah worked in the social department at church and recognized that many needed more help than the church could afford or provide. By working with the poor and a few trusted partners, Deborah created Generations Impact and structured the business to share profits with those who do the work. This allows anyone to be a part of her business. As the trainees become self-supporting, they can move on to jobs that pay more, while continuing to offer service back to Generations Impact socially.

Deborah chose this business to be able to support her family and help others.
