At 50 years old, Jessy has proven that it’s never too late to learn. A mother of five and a dedicated farmer from Amuru District, Jessy recently completed our adult literacy training program. Before joining the program, she struggled to read simple signs, write her name, or keep track of her savings from the small market stall she runs.
Through hard work and determination, Jessy not only learned to read and write, but also gained confidence in public speaking and handling basic financial records. She now reads the Bible with her church group, helps her children with their homework, and keeps a daily record of her business transactions.
“Before, I had to rely on others even for simple things. Now I feel proud and independent,” Jessy shared with a smile.
Jessy’s story reminds us that empowering women with literacy skills transforms families and strengthens communities. We are proud of her achievements and excited for what lies ahead in her journey.
Join us in making more stories like Jessy’s possible. Your support can help another woman learn to read, write, and thrive.
