Jane Asher is joined by Executive Director of the Enlighten Foundation, Harmony Brown. The Enlighten Foundation began when several Christian women wanted to bring Hope to oppressed women in marginalized cultures around the world. We call this "Project Sparkle" because one spark of change in one woman can ignite an entire community. We've seen this happen time and time again and we would love for you to join us in bringing about this transformational change. The Enlighten Foundation's research showed that women can help transform a community as long as three basic needs are fulfilled: the education of their children, the health of their families and the ability to have some sort of sustainable living. To that end, The Project Sparkle Model has three programs that address those needs: The Early Learning Program, the Health Education Program and Services for Families, and the Skill and Personal Development.
