The Bee Project is our first domestic social enterprise project for The Stella Projects. We see beekeeping as a means of income for the women we serve. We believe earning a livable wage will be the path toward financial independence for women. Not only will beekeeping provide a livable wage, but it will also provide purpose for a vast array pf products derived from the bees.

There are essential tools and needs that a beekeeper must have to maintain healthy and productive hives. As Belle & Sparrows' Apiary grows those needs grow along with it. 

Training and supplies for teaching women to care for bees and hives throughout the year. 

Chicks for Chicks is our second domestic social enterprise project for The Stella Projects. This project empowers the women we serve to grow in their ability to be a self-reliant support for their family. Raising the chickens and selling their eggs will give the women a sence of diginity and accomplishement. They also will be adding more skill set to their resume by learning how to budget, market and sell and item. 

Our chicks are growing and we need to expand their living quarters to get ready for them to lay eggs.  We would love you to help them with a forever home! 

Hand pouring, marketing and selling, handcrafted candles is The Stella Projects third social enterprise project. Also, it is the first project of The Stella Projects to hire one of the women that Belle & Sparrows has served. This is a huge accomplishment and an answered prayer! Providing candle making supplies IMMEDIATLY impacts a local women's ability to be self-reliant! 

The Stella Projects mission is to RESTORE DIGNITY and quality of life to women by ELIMINATING BARRIERS to success through entrepreneurship, innovative education and training and community driven programs. The Stella House will provide a place for women to live where they can lead a healthy, fulfilling life of self-reliance and dignity. It will be a temporary and safe home for women to use as catapult as they enter back into the community as a stable foundation for their families. 

Purchase a van for the home to help transport women and children to work and school and day care and school etc. 

Belle & Sparrows partners on a regular basis with local programs that help women who are facing insurmountable odds. We come alongside these women to pamper them, feed them, and show them the redeeming love of Christ through prayer and bible time. 

While Belle & Sparrows comes along side women to demonstrate the love of Christ and show them they are worthy, we also bring some fun to their lives! These women are working hard at putting their lives back together and sometimes they need a little break. That's when  we enter their lives with a fun night of art therapy! We have heard such positive feedback about our ministry nights that bring fun, fellowship, and ART!

Belle & Sparrows helps local non-profits celebrate the birthdays of the women and children that are in their programs. This is such a fun way to honor these women and their children. For some, it has been a long time since they have been celebrated. THEY ARE WORTHY OF CELEBRATION!

Along with training, artisan business kits are brought to women, globally and locally, so they can learn a skill and earn an income. With each mission trip a new skill is taught so they can continue to add to their business. Currently, business kits have been brought to HAITI, GUATEMALA, and NEW MEXICO. To further support these business women, Belle & Sparrows has bought back some these products and we have them for sale in our Merchandise Shop.

Belle & Sparrows gives the opportunity for economic sustainability through business kits and the Word of God to women globally. BUT we need to get there!  Providing a rental van for a mission trip not only provides the transportation that's needed but ALSO the peace of mind needed to focus on the ultimate mission... delivering the message of the Gospel. Often these trips are in rural areas of the country and roads are not always like they are in America. A safe and stable vehicle allows the missionaries comfort knowing they do not have to worry about one of their basic needs. 

A mission trip can be any where from a few days up to 10. Often, the trip has multiple destinations on the itinerary. Having a gas card helps the trip run smoothly knowing the gas was provided before the group even arrives to their destination.

As Belle & Sparrows continues to grow so does our need for space. We are currently using a small storage space at a local Cube Smart. We need this space to house everything, from mission trip supplies to marketing materials.

Bus passes for women to get to work, school, store and pick up children. 

Property in a great location to make a destination visit for people traveling to the DFW area where our women can work, train and sell the good they make while learning new skills and a successful trade all while being mentored by some of the best local artisains, financial planners, business owners etc.  Also, allowing them a schedule where they can go to school, therapy groups and parent their children while still pursuing a life of dignity and self-worth.
