I just returned from Ghana with an overflowing heart! This trip was filled with joy, deep conversations, and so many reminders of why this work matters. I got to hug our students, hear their stories face to face, and see firsthand how your support is truly transforming lives. From confident smiles to academic progress, it’s clear that your generosity is giving our students hope and stability. One of the best parts? Sitting down one-on-one with each student to hear how they’re really doing. Those honest conversations gave us a clearer picture of both the impact we’re making—and the opportunities we still have to show up in meaningful ways.

Some of you may remember her—Mabel joined our program about a year ago, and at the time, she was the only student who didn’t speak English. She was 19 when we first met her and had never been to school. Instead, she spent her childhood at home caring for her younger siblings while others her age were in class learning. But thanks to your support, Mabel’s story is changing.

Today, she’s attending fashion school and has truly blossomed. Her joy was contagious when we saw her—she had sewn the beautiful dress she wore and smiled with a confidence we hadn’t seen before. In addition to her vocational training, she’s now taking private English lessons two hours a day, seven days a week, and we were actually able to carry on a conversation!

We’ve provided her with a sewing machine at school, but we’d love to equip her with a second machine to use at home—giving her the opportunity to practice more and potentially earn income through small jobs. She’ll also need a few sewing forms or dummies to support her training. Thanks to your generosity, we’ve recently sent funds to secure better living accommodations as well.

Mabel is just one example of the transformation monthly giving makes possible. 

At just 16 years old, Florence has already faced unimaginable hardship. Her father is deceased, and her mother suffers from severe mental illness. Florence has spent the last several years in an orphanage, but that chapter is about to end. Without support, she will be sent back to her rural village—a place with no resources, no opportunity, and no safety.

Two of her older sisters were also sent back under similar circumstances. Tragically, both died from lack of food and water.

Florence is determined to build a different future. She wants to attend high school and pursue a better life—but she cannot do it alone. With your help, we can step in now to provide immediate housing and basic provisions. And starting this fall, she will need monthly support to cover her school fees, meals, and living expenses.

Florence doesn’t need charity—she needs champions. Will you be one for her?

Throughout our trip, we had the joy of hosting dinners with our students in Accra, Kumasi, and Tepa—and I couldn’t help but pause and take it all in. These group photos are more than just snapshots… they are portraits of resilience, potential, and transformation in progress.

Each smile represents a young person who is dreaming bigger because of your support. But behind every smile is a story still unfolding—and for many, that next chapter depends on whether we can provide continued support.

That’s where monthly giving makes all the difference.

 What Your Monthly Gift Can Do

Your consistent monthly gift provides more than just support—it provides stability, dignity, and a path forward for students like Mabel and Florence.

Here’s what it takes to support a student each month:

• $75–$100/month – Supports a high school student with essentials like school fees, food, books, and housing
• $100/month – Supports a trade school student with tuition, training supplies, housing, and daily needs
• $150–$325/month – Supports a university or college student with tuition, housing, food, transportation, and daily living expenses.

Every monthly donor makes a difference—because every student needs someone in their corner.

 One-time gifts also go a long way! These donations help cover urgent and essential needs like laptops, phones, medical care, and other unexpected expenses that can quickly become barriers to education.

 Whether you give monthly or one-time, you’re showing our students that they are seen, valued, and not alone.
