Naomi’s Story
Naomi grew up in extreme poverty. She attended school through class seven but had to drop out because of her teenage pregnancy. Despite facing immense tragedy and loss, Naomi has persisted and her life has transformed!
She now says, "Neema changed my perspective of life. Having dropped out of school due to early pregnancy, I thought life had come to an end since I was struggling to raise my child. But through counseling at Neema I accepted myself and gained hope again. I learned how to read the Bible and pray. I can even teach my children the word of God. When I came to Neema, I used to do manual work for us to eat. But after gaining skills at Neema, I started my business which has helped me to provide for my family."
Invest in the hopes and dreams of students at Neema so that young women like Naomi have opportunities they never could have imagined!

“I’m so happy because my father forgave me and accepted me back as his daughter. When I went home with my school uniform, he could not believe I was studying, and he promised to provide for my son. This makes me feel so happy and free in my heart knowing that I am accepted once again.” -Mercy
