MEET ANN, A FREELY IN HOPE SCHOLAR AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT

Ann, a high school student and scholarship participant from Zambia grew up in an abusive environment. Despite having experienced such a harsh reality, pursuing education through Freely in Hope became her haven. Ann is passionate about helping others who have experienced challenges within their communities, particularly among young girls who are survivors of early marriage and abusive relationships.

She aspires to become a surgical doctor and aims to establish an organization to empower girls. 

Since joining Freely in Hope, she's hopeful for her future!

When Children Find Their Voice: Building Safety From Where I Stand

I used to dream of a community where children could grow up not feeling afraid. Where women didn’t have to scream every night. Where survivors could rise as leaders and lean into their lived experiences to bring the change they wanted to see. The dream didn’t come from some abstract place, it came from living in Kibera, from knowing what it feels like when poverty exposes girls to vulnerabilities, from understanding firsthand what happens when children don’t have the language to recognize violence as it’s happening to them.
