Place: Louisville, Kentucky
Trade: Woodshop Project
Why: Empowering gifts, teaching skills and providing tools to use business as mission. In a lower-income part of Portland in downtown Louisville, KY there is a group of people committed to develop and empower people by teaching trades, giving dignity, and helping fight against a poverty mentality. We installed a woodshop that is now thriving to help provide work and teach people their giftedness.
Partners: Love City (www.lovecityinc.org) and Southeast Christian Church (southeastchristian.org)
