Jeff Rutt recognizes that women have long been marginalized by society. Even in these modern times, Jeff remarks that most women in the countries where they operate are still being deprived of education by parents and prohibited by husbands from working outside of their homes.
Jeff says that it is not a coincidence that around 80% of HOPE’s clients are women. He notes that studies and his own observation have proven women to be a wise investment. Investing and educating women did not only pay off in terms of profit but contributed to the improvement of women’s self-esteem.
As an investment, Jeff Rutt explains that women repay more consistently than their male counterparts and spend their profits on the needs of their families such as nutrition, housing, and education for their children.
HOPE paved the way for women from developed countries to interact with women in developing countries who have been denied the ideas of freedom and respect. Members have been empowered to assert their rights that HOPE has witnessed women banding together to petition for government to improve their employment conditions.
More women are also asserting their rights. During a group meeting in India, a member shared how her husband has been continually beating her despite pleas to stop. Fifteen women in the group confronted her husband about how his violent behavior violated the rights of his wife.
HOPE is committed to continue to empower women worldwide. Learn more about this noble initiative at www.keystonecustomhome.com/hope.
