Programs and results

What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Technology is a great tool, but cannot replace the benefits of actually bringing people together to achieve meaningful connections to empower individuals and communities.

Women's Connection Center

The Women's Connection Center (WCC) connects adult women in the Grapevine and surrounding communities to existing resources in the community. -resources to develop mind, body, and spirit.
All women are invited, regardless of circumstances or religious views, to connect personally with a trained advocate. To visit the Center or meet with an Advocate is free of charge. Information and compassion are provided, but no actual distribution of money or material goods.
This first location was provided free of charge at 421 Church St. in Grapevine, TX. See the website for current location and hours. Everyone involved in the implementation and operation of this initiative is a volunteer.
Our vision is to create a sustainable model that can be easily replicated in other communities with a start up budget for each site being approximately $2000 with an annual operating budget of $1000 per site.
Through the WCC, we also offer Empowering Women in Transition Workshops as well as individual topic workshops - ie Social Security, Financial Matters, Health and Wellness.

Population(s) Served

Seeds of Hope currently seeks to empower local women economically through jewelry making skills and sales opportunities. We are also seeking ways to help a new sewing school in Chicuque, Mozambique become sustainable.
History: Seeds of Hope began in 2006 as a project to empower women in the small fishing village, of Chicuque, Mozambique through a collaborative project they named by them as "Irmas Unidas de Chicuque" (Chicuque Sisters Together). Women were invited to learn jewelry making skills, product development, sales, and management practices. The project continued through 2013 when the majority of the women involved went on to individual endeavors having been empowered through the program. In conjunction with the Mozambique project, a not for profit store was operated in Flower Mound, TX from 2011 through 2013. The store sold product made by: Chicuque Sisters Together; Women's projects in Bolivia, Columbia, Mexico, and 7 other African countries through True Vinyard Ministries; and hundreds of artisans in developing nations all over the world through Ten Thousand Villages.

Population(s) Served

The first Community Engagement pilot project project is under development. We aim to create collaboration between local nonprofits, service entities, businesses, and individuals seeking to serve in their communities and thereby creating stronger, more sustainable communities.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

ESC3 aims to empower sustainable communities, connections, and causes through supporting the development of programs to achieve this goal. We are focused on the empowerment of individuals regardless of race, faith beliefs, education, economic status, political beliefs, or gender and collaboration to empower communities to thrive. We bring back the person to person connection in a way that a website alone cannot provide.

By Oct 2020 - update the functionality of websites adding virtual options to communicate with those we serve and offer workshops online.
By Jan 2021 - establish a new location for the Women’s Connection Center and launch a pilot Community Engagement Center.
Within 3 years - fund additional opportunities through Seeds of Hope and launch additional WCCs and CECs
Within 5 years – launch WCCs and CECs to serve communities outside the DFW area and in other states

We have multiple leaders with experience in organizational leadership and volunteerism with charitable organizations along with a team of over 20 dedicated volunteers currently serving on steering committees and essential volunteer implementing our programs. We have recently been given the opportunity to lead a coalition of health and human resources in the Grapevine area. We have adequate funds to initiate the implementation of our current objectives.

We have completed: a pilot Women's Connection Center in Grapevine, TX; operated 6 Empowering Women in Transition Workshops in Grapevine and Ft. Worth; conducted 10 special topic workshops in Grapevine; economically empowered over 100 women in the small fishing village of Chicuque, Mozambique and 20 local women through Seeds of Hope at the same time as raising funds for empowering more women.

Next steps include:

Implementing a Women's Connection Center on a permanent basis in Grapevine, TX. During the time of the COVID, we will convert our services to virtual options. We will also offer services in Spanish on selected days/times.

Development and launching of a pilot Community Engagement Center based in Grapevine, Colleyville, Coppell, and Southlake.
