We received such an amazing response to Emily's microproject, all of Africa SOMA has been blown away by the compassion and genorosity of donors such as yourself. We have great faith in Emily as she moves forward on her path towards becoming an accountant and it was so wonderful to see the same faith reflected back by our donors.
Emily has just begun her second year of high school. While she starts her second year it is reassuring to know money is not something she will need to stress about, allowing her full focus to be poured into her work.
Although Africa SOMA currently has an intern, Jack, working on the ground in Elangata Wuas he was unfortunately unable to meet up with Emily since she attends a high school outside of the community. Regardless, she wanted to make sure the message was passed along to all of the donors like yourself for your generous contributions and support. She also wanted to let donors know how supportive her parents are of her education. "My parents are very happy about the scholarship I have received and are proud of how far I have come in school. They also support my education and buy me school supplies.”
On behalf of Africa SOMA I would like to thank you for your support. Our work cannot happen without people like you not only believing in our work, but putting down some of your own hard earned money as token of support. As you may know education is one of the most consistant methods to create greater health, social mobility, climate change resilence and empowerment for underpriviledged youth, paticularly girls. Increased education of youth also has the wonderful bonus of creating a positive ripple effect through communities such as Elangata Wuas.
On behalf of Emily, the Elangata Wuas Community and Africa SOMA's Team - Thank you.
