PROJECTS 2006 TO 2009: THE LYDIA PROJECT: MIRIAM - CHANGING THE WORLD TOGETHER, EASTERN EUROPE

Background

The Lydia Project empowers women to help the most hurt people of 16 East European countries, from Russia in the north to Albania in the south.
The Lydia Project logo New church and community projects are planned and advanced at gatherings/events arranged by the Lydia Project; they share best practice and create joint projects of practical work with street and HIV/AIDS children, abused and trafficked women, unemployed people, refugees from regional wars, Roma families, pensioners and orphans or youth with no future.

The Guild’s support will enable opportunities, that will not otherwise happen, for women to develop new partnerships; with each other and other deprived groups. Mutual encouragement, learning and inspiration, sometimes between women of countries that have been enemies, strengthens the ability to establish new work (after decades of state control) with people who were devastated by radical social and economic change.

For more information about The Lydia Project please email Fiona Punton, information officer.
