JeminiPS “Gets Mad” and Makes a Difference Globally
SIFA ThreadsJeminiPS is expanding its MAD footprint and “Getting MAD” in Asia, Mexico and Africa. JeminiPS has an unique Make a Difference (MAD) model that gives back 10% of revenue earned with each client engagement to MAD. Jeff Heslop, Partner and Practice Leader at JeminiPS, designated his 2013 JeminiPS MAD funds to benefit mission work in Asia, Mexico and Africa. Jeff recently traveled over 8,000 miles from his home town in Cincinnati, Ohio to Tanzania, a country in East Africa in the African Great Lakes region. Jeff along with his wife Nancy joined forces with local missionaries to Make a Difference in the lives of the residents in the city of Dar es Salaam.
The work of these missionaries is to serve both the physical and spiritual needs of the adults and children residing in the city. The United Nations estimates 70 percent of Dar es Salaam’s population lives in informal settlements, with the poorer residents crowding into downtown areas or large slums, many without running water or basic services. While in Africa, Jeff and Nancy worked with three families that have moved from Cincinnati, Ohio to Dar es Salaam. These families have totally transformed their lives in Ohio to a life dedicated to “Making a Difference” in Tanzania. Local ministry services include feeding and schooling of orphans; providing woman sources of income; treating tropical diseases; drilling wells for clean water; and church plantings.
JeminiPS is especially proud to support the SIFA Threads organization in Tanzania. This organization provides local woman fulfilling jobs sewing various items by hand. The organization is dedicated to training young women to work with textiles and handcrafts. SIFA Threads uses local Tanzanian textiles and up-cycled fabrics for each one-of-a-kind product designed by local young women. These original designs are described as “afropologie” or african style with a western twist. JeminiPS invites you to “Get MAD” with SIFA Threads and help Makes a Difference in the lives of hundreds of Tanzania women and their families that would otherwise have no other source of money or income.
