Mary is one of the girls who found hope through Girl Push Initiative. Mary’s mother died, leaving her with no opportunity to complete her education. She lived with different relatives who encouraged her to drop out of school because they couldn’t pay her school fees. Mary had limited education and life experience, but she believed that life could offer her more. There are 13 other girls in situations similar to Mary’s who have found help and hope through Girl Push Initiative. This initiative pays boarding and school tuition fees and also provides mentoring, limited medical assistance, help with school requirements, and school/group Bible studies. Girl Push Initiative is led by a young woman who, as a teen, was in a life situation similar to Mary’s. Through mentoring and support, she completed her education, grew in her faith, and now financially and emotionally provides leadership to Girl Push Initiative. These 13 girls have found life that doesn’t include early marriage, motherhood, and poverty but rather a “push” in the direction of maturity, compassion, and God. Pray for young, hopeless girls living all over Uganda, on the mainland and in remote island villages. Pray that they will follow the One who provides hope and a future.
