Our scholars come from different backgrounds; most of them from very vulnerable communities. They overcome insummountable challenges in the pursuit of their academic dreams, all with the hope of going back to solve different problems in their communities.
In Africa, we say that it takes a village to raise a child. And even with Freely in Hope's support, the role of their families and communities remains critical in their journey of transformation and growth. Our support, therefore, is holistic and includes collaborating with their parents and caregivers and equipping them with truma-informed parenting skills that help them best support their children.
In the month of March, we hosted our first parents'meeting of the year where our Social Worker and Mental Health Specialist listened to the challenges that the parents and caregivers have been navigating and shared insights on how they can handle them while prioritizing their children's and their own well-being.
These parents and caregivers rarely ever have support systems and such forums are life-giving and supportive of their role in supporting their children's dreams. Thank you for being part of the village that is supporting the dreams of our scholars!
