Our Mission

Community Stories

The mothers, children and communities that we’ve met inspire our ideas and, often times, solutions. Every one of them has a story worth sharing.

Im am the aunt. They (3 children) lost both their parents at 2 different times. They have slowly come to realize what their new lives will be. Being selected would not only give them a great surprise as I am unable to afford much for them, but it would also boost their faith. We are taking it day by day but it is really hard to support them and ensure they are keeping up their grades and behavior with my 2 jobs.
