From Fear to Confidence
It fills my heart when our team sends photos from our Vocational Center in Buwudha village: the smiles, the laughter, the pride in every girl's face.
Each one of these young women has faced unthinkable challenges from trafficking, violence, early marriage, and a lack of opportunity. But today, they stand taller, confident and hopeful. That transformation exists because of you!
Running a nonprofit isn't easy. Every day, we work to keep programs like this alive. But then we see those smiles… and we're reminded exactly why this work matters.
Because of your generosity:
Girls who once felt forgotten are now learning math and business skills.
They're gaining confidence to run their own shops and support their families.
They're building safer, stronger futures for themselves and their children.
Please take a moment to look at these faces and see the impact you've made. You have given these forgotten girls their future back!
You haven't just changed their lives — you've changed what they believe is possible.
This week, I'm sending heartfelt thanks and love from Mangere, Faimah, Ruth, Jane, Betty, Christine, and Goretti. They are just some of the girls whose futures shine brighter because of you.
With Gratitude,
Mary
