“When someone believes in you, everything changes.”

“When someone believes in you, everything changes.”

This statement is from Eva. She is a young women in our education programme. It highlights the life-changing impact your support makes.

At just 12, Eva faced an unimaginable reality.

During the COVID lockdowns, her family struggled to survive. Left with no alternatives, she turned to sex work to help provide food for her younger siblings. Her childhood dreams seemed shattered.

That all changed when one of our Community Mentors stepped in. They listened to her story and provided the support she needed to reimagine her future. With their guidance, Eva joined our education programme.

Today, she’s back in school, gaining the skills and confidence to rebuild her life. This is the power of believing in someone.

Every day out of school puts girls as risk
