Maria couldn't read or write when she first joined our adult literacy program three years ago. As a single mother of three, she struggled to help her children with homework and felt left behind in a world that required basic literacy skills. Today, Maria not only reads and writes fluently but has also completed our vocational training program in tailoring. She now owns a successful tailoring business that employs three other women from her community, creating a ripple effect of empowerment and economic independence.
“Learning to read changed my life completely. Now I can help my children with their studies, manage my business accounts, and even read stories to my youngest daughter. I never thought this would be possible.”
— Maria Nakato
Started successful business employing 3 women
When Grace and her four siblings lost both parents in a tragic accident, they faced the possibility of being separated and sent to different relatives across the country. Our family support program stepped in to keep the siblings together, providing them with a safe home, education, and the emotional support they needed during their grief. Two years later, all five children are thriving in school, with the eldest, Peter, recently receiving a scholarship to attend university.
“We thought we would never see each other again after our parents died. But Be Blessed kept our family together. Now we support each other and dream of bright futures.”
