Despite these obstacles, Stephanie didn’t give up.

She shared her situation with her village champion in Leveque, who leads her small group. Moved by her determination, he went to the principal of the local school and advocated on her behalf. Because of that intervention, Stephanie was given the opportunity to attend school.

When asked about it, Stephanie said, "This is only possible because of God’s faithfulness. God made a way for me."

Not long after, she returned to her small group, this time as a student with a future ahead of her. That day, the group studied Psalm 27:10: "Though my father and mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me."

Stephanie wept as she heard those words. In that moment, she gave her life to Christ.

Today, Stephanie’s story is a powerful reminder: when you invest in education, you give someone a second chance. Students who do not have anyone to advocate for them. Because of faithful donors, Stephanie was able to attend school despite not having the financial means. By giving to education, you are opening the door to hope and life transformation for so many students.
