Beatrice Nelson works on her sewing machine outside her house. She was kidnapped and mistreated by rebel soldiers during Liberia's civil wars, but today she's a mother and entrepreneur near Buchanan, Liberia. When she graduated from My Daughter's Place, a program for war-affected girls at Camphor Mission, she received a sewing machine and two goats, and leveraged that capital into a successful small business which today supports her family. My Daughter's Place is supported by United Methodist Women.
