A new opportunity provided by
Ecumenical Ministries o f Oregon’s
refugee and immigration ministries,
Seeds o f Change, helps refugee
women establish businesses in their
homes. It also helps the women
develop the skills they need to
improve self-esteem and “navigate
the community,” said Kristin Eccles,
who directs Seeds o f Change.
The program pairs refugee women
with established businessw om en
who volunteer to work with the
refugees for a year, assisting them in
business developm ent. Seeds o f
Change also offers classes in basic
business skills and self-esteem. So
far ten women have enrolled in the
program, which is open to refugees
receiving non-cash public assistance
who have lived in the United States a
year or more.
Seeds ofChange has been especially
helpful for women who manage large
families. For some, paying for daycare
services so they can w ork at a
minimum wage job outside the home
is not only unprofitable but also
conflicts with their religious and/or
cultural practices or beliefs.
The women enrolled in Seeds o f
Change now operate businesses in
day care, bookkeeping services,
sewing, cake decorating, and selling
n u tritio n a l su p p le m e n ts and
environmentally friendly cleaning
supplies. Most have come to Portland
