Description
In this episode we interview Mary Zeien, Founder/Executive Director at The Well of Mercy. The Well of Mercy provides a caring, cooperative community home environment to single women who have little or no support. The mothers are physically secure in a safe and loving environment that upholds a process of accountability, as each resident works toward personal holistic goals. They are provided with educational guidance as they work to build a poverty-free future for themselves and their families.
The WOM offers holistic interventions including financial literacy mentor, educational guidance, physical well-being (diet, nutrition, exercise), emotional support. Each woman has a personal mentor who expands her world through local cultural activities such as visiting museums, attending concerts, free events, holiday celebrations etc. The women attend classes in Grief and Loss, Parent Training through Love and Logic, Domestic Violence Awareness program, and Boundaries. Through financial literacy guidance, the women learn to pay down any debt, save and invest money. The women not only receive driving lessons but many are able to purchase their first car.
