A Billion Times Thank You for Changing our Lives

The training has been image-breaking from the perspective that this is helping to break off scarcity, poverty and limited thinking.

I Will Grow Up To Be a Great Woman Because I am Going to School: Nurturing the Seeds of Greatness

The scholarship beneficiaries and their families extend their deepest thanks and appreciation to all Develop Africa and Global Giving supporters for the God-given opportunity accorded the children to enroll and stay in school - so that they will realize their dreams of becoming professionals in their various aspirations.
