SUMMARY:Chamber Inspiration Luncheon featuring Melissa Sevy
DESCRIPTION:Musana Jewelry's model is to empower women to provide opportunities for their children\, creating a generation of change. Working with women in developing countries gets at\n\nthe root of breaking the cycle of poverty. Women are often the sole providers for their families\,\n\nand yet there is little work available for them. By employing mothers\, Musana empowers them to break the cycle of poverty and create brighter futures for their children.  \n\n\n\nBesides employment\, Musana believes in education\, health\, and community development.  Musana artisans have opportunities to take English\, business\, health and various other classes and Musana provides financial mentoring to help artisans plan for the future.\n\n\n\nOne of the requirements of Musana artisans is to have all school-aged children enrolled in school. To lighten the burden\, we created our School Fees Matching Program. Artisans pay half of the required school fees for their children and we match it to make up the rest.  Through subsidizing medical costs\, we guarantee that our artisans are able to seek quality treatment for themselves and their children when necessary.  Musana also partners with local schools\, clinics and community leaders\, to create a sustainable difference. They founded the Lugazi Community Library in March 2015.\n\n\n\nMelissa Sevy is the Executive Director of Musana Jewelery. Sevy graduated from BYU with a master's degree in public health in 2009 and teaches as an adjunct at both BYU and UVU. As a firm public health advocate\, she integrates theories she has learned in the field into Musana's initiative\, empowering the women of Lugazi with knowledge and skills.  An avid adventure seeker\, Sevy said she loves being outdoors hiking or mountain biking.\n\n\n\nMusana has been featured on The Today Show\, ABC 4 Utah\, in the  Utah Valley Magazine\, ksl.com and many others.
