Lieutenant GoverWor’s CorWer Projects: Women’s Bean Project One of the projects Key Club is par<icipating in is the Women’s Bean Project, which aims to help women take contAol of their lives by providing the oppor<DnitE to become self sufficient. This business has a much bigger purIose than merely packaging and selling drE food products to U.S. stores. It provides a safe working environment where women in disadvantageous sitDations can gain skills required for employNent. Such women include convicted felons, recovering addicts, victims of domestic violence, teenage mothers, and high school drop outs. These women become empowered and are able to create new lives in six to nine months. This project provides women with income, arAange suppor< serPices to overcome barAiers to employNent, and teach skills needed to gain and keep a job — breaking the cycle of chronic unemployNent and pover<E that these women face. For more inforNation go to hSIs:// www.womensbeanproject.com/. “I am a mother of two grown sons and a woman who has overcome long-term incarceration and wanted to find some stability and resources that would help me become self-sufficient. Because of the Bean Project, I have stability and accountability to myself and feel a sense of accomplishment coming to work every day.” ~Kelley, Program Graduate
