our background

The Self Love Kindle Project, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established by two professional women with a shared vision to empower women in their community. LaTrice Rainer, a United States Army Veteran, and Quyontae Patterson, currently serving in the United States Army, committed to helping women regain their self-worth, pursue their fullest potential, and learn to love themselves unconditionally. Their mission to inspire, educate, and raise awareness for women became the foundation on which The Self Love Kindle Project was created.

Founded on January 9, 2019, The Self Love Kindle Project, Inc. supports and empowers women from all walks of life. Our goal is to provide meaningful opportunities and essential resources for those in need of personal assistance (clothing, food, and shelter), rehabilitation and transitional support, safe haven services, educational assistance, and resources related to substance abuse and domestic violence. We are on a mission to uplift, empower, and strengthen self-love—one woman at a time.
