Velma.

— her story is one of redemption, resilience, and return. 🤍

She first walked through the gates of Furaha as an elementary student. She grew. She learned. She persevered. She graduated high school. She went on to university.

And now?

She’s back.

Back as a Furaha teacher.
Back pouring into the next generation.
Back leading students in dance — the very same dance program she once participated in as a student, even competing as part of the Furaha dance team years ago.

This is the story we pray for.
A child empowered out of poverty… who returns to lift others up.

Your generosity changes one life.
That life changes a community.

Come be part of stories like hers.
Join the story.
