Fadia is a grade six student at Missions of Hope International (MOHI) Bura center.

Fadia comes from a humble background with both parents being alive but unable to meet the family’s basic needs. Before joining MOHI, she and her five siblings would stay home due to lack of school fees and this had affected her educational progress.

Our social worker met Fadia fetching water at the river on a school day. After interacting with her, we learned that she – and her siblings – had not been in school for a whole year. We started making frequent visits to Fadia’s home, engaging her parents to allow us to recruit Fadia and her siblings to our school. At first, they were hesitant, but they eventually gave their approval.

We thank God that Fadia has remained in school and this is her second year. She is very committed to her learning and she is always among the top two positions in her class. Her family still has challenges in having the basic needs met adequately but Fadia is thriving nonetheless. She dreams of being a pilot and we believe that her dream will come true if she continues with the same spirit and focus.

Please join us in praying for Fadia’s family, and all the other families that we serve, that they will experience transformation in their lives.
