Bright is the little girl in the photo above.
As our team conducted our annual community baseline survey last February, they came across Bright and her family. The family was exceptionally poor and none of the children were in school. Our team learned that the father was disabled and couldn’t do heavy manual labor. From growing crops on their small piece of land, they earned less than $30 annually. To support his family, the father had resorted to stealing.
To intervene, we enrolled Bright and her sibling onto our scholarship program so they can attend school and receive two hot meals to fill their tummies every day. The parents will help on our farm learning better farming techniques they can utilize on their own land. They have signed up to participate in our saving circle program with the funds they will earn working on the HEED farm. We will show them Jesus’ love and give them tools to improve their livelihood so that this family can thrive.
