Meet Eli: She now can make bags for profit

Dear Partner,

It's a pleasure to share with you about Eliza one of our Empowerment Through Vocational Skills. 

Eliza, a 14-year-old girl who lost her mother at a tender age, is one of the many beneficiaries of Girls Education Mission (GEM) International, whose life has been transformed through education and vocational training. Coming from a family where providing for her educational needs was becoming a burden, Eliza's future seemed uncertain. However, with the support of GEM International, she found an opportunity that has not only equipped her with skills but also empowered her to contribute to her family's well-being.

Through GEM International's Entrepreneurship program, Eliza learned how to make bags. What started as a simple skill has blossomed into a small business for her. Eliza now creates beautiful handmade bags, which she sells to support herself. The income she generates has helped her cover some of her educational needs, easing the financial burden on her parents.

Eliza’s story is a testament to the transformative power of education and vocational training.  We believe that by equipping girls like her with practical skills, we are not only supporting their education but also providing them to become self-reliant and contribute meaningfully to their families and communities.

Your support to our work at Girls Education Mission International gretly appreciated. This support help us to empower girls to rise above financial challenges, pursue their dreams, and break the cycle of poverty through education and skill acquisition.

Thank you for believing in our mission to educate and empower girls.

From all of us at 

Girls Education Mission International
