Biography
Jemimah is a God-loving and hardworking young woman currently in grade 10 at a local Girls' High School. Sadly, she never met her dad, and she and her older brother were raised by their single mom. She did not have adequate education to get a stable job and relies on odd jobs in the community. When Jemimah finished middle school, she had an above-average performance on her national exams, but there were no resources for her to go to high school. By God’s grace, someone paid for her to start, but she is not sure of the future of her education and trusts God for a way forward to help her become all she was created to be. Would you walk with her and help her overcome the challenges she faces?
