New NonProfit Jewelry 4 God Provides Free Job Training for Women in...

Jewelry 4 God International, a non profit organization, announced today its official launch in response to the overwhelming need to provide free job skills training and employment opportunities for impoverished women.

"Worldwide, women exploit their bodies because of the need for money, in many cases, in order to support their parents or children. Those who are sold into the sex industry are all too often tied, beaten, raped, and burned until they comply," Tim Zello, Founder and President of Jewelry 4 God said. "They usually stay in prostitution because other available unskilled jobs pay significantly less."

"In order to be fully empowered and become productive in society, those who are rescued need a restoration of dignity and self-esteem," he said. "Preventing women from returning to their old lifestyle requires teaching them the skills necessary to have a sustainable job and income, so vocational training and business opportunities are key."

Jewelry 4 God teaches women the art of hand crafting one of a kind jewelry out of sterling silver and semi-precious stones and product marketing.

"Tying a woman's love of jewelry with teaching women vocational skills to help them support themselves and their families is nothing more than genius," wrote Arlene Allen, Editor of Woman's Touch, an online magazine for women.

Jewelry 4 God has trained and empowered others in India (http://www.jewelry4god.com/PakistanTeenChallenge.html), South Africa (http://www.jewelry4god.com/JamaicaTeenChallenge.html), El Salvador (http://www.jewelry4god.com/ArubaPhotos.html).

"One of the greatest gifts you can give people in poverty is the ability to support themselves," Zello said. "Our jewelry training, however, provides much more than economic benefits. It gives the women a sense of self worth, an opportunity to express creativity, and it is therapeutic."

Over the next eight months Jewelry 4 God will train:

* Teenage orphaned girls in Sri Lanka left homeless by the devastating tsunami that struck Asia on December 26, 2004.

* Recovering heroin addicts and prostitutes in Serbia.

* Foster moms in the African nation of Swaziland (
