It's a pleasure to share with you the Journey of Academic Excellence and Empowerment of two of our GEM girls Lois and Hafsa
Lois and Hafsa are shining examples of the transformative power of education and the vital role that Girls Education Mission (GEM) International plays in shaping the futures of young women. Both girls, once filled with dreams but faced with financial barriers, have now achieved remarkable academic success through the support they received from GEM.
Lois, a dedicated and driven young woman who is one of the founding girls of GEM, has recently graduated as a Pharmacist. Her journey to this milestone was made possible by the financial support and mentorship she received through GEM International. Now, she stands ready to serve her community with the knowledge and skills she has acquired, embodying the impact of education in fostering both personal and community development.
Hafsa, another remarkable GEM beneficiary, has just graduated as a Human Geneticist. Her passion for science and desire to make a difference in the field of science was nurtured through GEM's unwavering commitment to her education. Hafsa is now equipped to make significant contributions to the genetic field, showing the world what empowered girls can achieve when given the right opportunities.
Both Lois and Hafsa’s achievements are a testament to GEM International’s dedication to providing girls with the resources they need to pursue education and careers in fields where they can make a lasting impact. These young women represent not just the future of their communities, but the ripple effect of supporting girls' education.
Hafsa sent to our Executive Director a WhatsApp message thus; "Good morning my able Leader and Mentor, the Director of Empowerment to the hopeless, am so much grateful for what you did to me forever would be remembered to every steps I moved. Am just speechless and out of word receiving this Gift from the Organization. With your support people prosper, with you children make it to their dream.

I remain loyal and happy for the support you provide for me.You would never lack in the name of the Almighty God.Thanks to GEM INTERNATIONAL.

Lois wrote on her facebook page: "My life is full of testimonies because what I was seeing it is impossible now is possible using my Aunty Keturah Shammah and GEM International....who helped me throughout my studies . Thank you so much . God bless you".
All these impactful testimonies are possible because you have made a decision to support our work. We remain grateful of your generosity.
