Biography

We thank God for young women like Lilian. She has made a firm decision to stand for Him and her biggest prayer is that she will not backslide though she faces many challenges. At a very young age, Lilian lost both of her parents. Since then, she and her older sister have been staying with their grandparents who are old and unable to provide for all the children left in their care. Lilian counts it a miracle to be alive today. She has battled sickness to the point of spending months in the hospital and missing 2 years of school! She is now in 11th grade at a girls school near her home. She is working hard and very determined to succeed though she is often sent home for fees. Would you be the one who walks with Lilian and gives her the means to overcome the challenges she faces?
