Hope Transforms: A Success Story

Peter* and June* are married and have lived in the Mathare Kosovo community since 2009. They are raising three children, all of whom attend MOHI schools. The family also supports a relative who is currently in college.

Peter works as a casual laborer on construction sites, while June previously worked as a house help. They lived in a small, one-room iron-sheet house for 11 years. The family attended a local church in Kosovo.

Mercy* is their first-born daughter, she joined Kosovo School in Grade 4 and graduated from high school in 2018. She is currently studying for a Bachelor of Arts in Education at a university, with financial support from MOHI.

While at MOHI, Mercy’s leadership skills were nurtured and she has since become a strong leader, serving as a member of the school student council and volunteering as a social worker for MOHI. She is also an active member of her local church, teaching Sunday school and mentoring teenagers. 

June, Mercy's mother was also positively impacted by MOHI’s values and programs. She was encouraged by their social worker to take advantage of the programs at MOHI. She attended MOHI's Technical Training Institute and graduated as a dressmaker in 2017. She was given a sewing machine after her course and now she uses her skills to repair clothes and generate income for the family. This has given lots of hope to the family as they can now cater to their needs. 

MOHI has played a significant role in the transformation of this family. We are grateful for the impact we have made on Mercy and her family.
