scholar highlight of the month
“This month, I completed a program on leadership development and entrepreneurship (LDEP). Though I graduated from high school last year, I have to wait a whole year before going to university. This LDEP program helped me learn important skills during this gap year which has helped me focus on my dreams. Freely in Hope ensured that I had an enabling environment for learning. I am physically well and self-care was needed especially during this period of the pandemic. Because schools are closed, many of my friends are messing up their lives, but I thank God for the care and protection over my life. Freely in Hope has been very mindful of me providing me with weekly check-ins with the counselor. This has been my biggest highlight!”

staff reflection
“I finally have my books in hand! I’m so grateful for my international village who believed in me before I believed in myself. My book, Liberation is Here, featuring my journey being inspired and transformed by the tenacity, strength, and vision of survivors of sexual violence. This book is a culmination of 10 years—witnessing the horrific pains and indescribable joy of working with survivors of sexual violence through Freely in Hope. My prayer is that you will be moved by the words and images inside—that the stories will speak life into your spirit and challenge you in the same ways it challenged me.

“The pandemic encouraged me to give to support the girls of Freely in Hope. These girls already had to go through very hard times and as a survivor, I want to help them as much as I can. Every progress and success, as small as it may be, makes it worth it!”
