QFE Fall 2024

Dear Friends and Supporters of QFE,
Because we know art can tell some stories better than words ever could, we created a quilt-based art exhibit called "Let Us Tell You About Fistula", in conjunction with the Fistula Foundation.  This special exhibit was shown at OHSU from May through August this year.

We are actively seeking other exhibit sites elsewhere in the USA, so please let us know if you have any leads.

We’ll be sure to tell you where the exhibit will be shown next as soon the detail are available, so you can visit this beautiful and meaningful exhibit in person.  In the meantime, you can learn more about the exhibit virtually here or watch this compelling video about it. 

Quilting has been at the heart of the Women’s Program since QFE’s inception.  Women in our program have taken their first steps toward healing and economic independence through picking up a needle and thread.  Many of you have purchased the women’s striking textile work, including “story quilts”, table linens and quilting squares.  These pieces of artwork move all of us.  Please contact Sharon at sharon@quiltsforempowerment.org if you would like to purchase items.

We thank you for your generous support of QFE and your commitment to our mission.  The work we are doing together for the girls and women in Kenya will resonate throughout the world.
