Hope Transforms: A Success Story

Emma* is a Grade 12 student at Turkana High School. Born and raised in Turkana, she is the third of seven children raised by a single mother. Her father left the family and remarried, a common practice among Turkana men. 

Emma's mother works odd jobs to support her large family, often struggling to provide even one meal a day. Despite these challenges, she recognizes the value of education, even though it's not culturally encouraged. A devout Christian, she ensures her children attend church every Sunday. 

MOHI connected with Emma's family during a community outreach program focused on education, hygiene, and evangelism. Recognizing the family's struggles, MOHI enrolled Emma in Turkana High School. This provided significant relief for Emma's mother.

Since joining MOHI, Emma has experienced significant growth. Her academic performance has improved, and her self-confidence has soared. She is optimistic about her future and grateful for the support and opportunities provided by MOHI.
