A faith-based nonprofit has a new home in Lowndes County.
Hope Inspired Ministries received a grant from Delta Regional Authority to teach high school seniors at Lowndes County Public Schools workforce skills they can use after high school.“There’s a lot of poverty there, and we want to change that,” Director John Bowman said, “the only way you’re going to do that is through one life at a time.”
“We’re able to continue to drive them to that internship, which will turn into a job, and then continue that until they can get a couple of paychecks,” Bowman said, “we teach them how to budget during the program so that they can get their own transportation.”
