Benta’s Story
"Before I came to Neema, my home was not good at all," says Benta, a 2018 Neema graduate. She was only able to attend school through 8th grade but then had to drop out. "Life was so hard," she said. "Before Neema ... people in my village saw me like rubbish." But that didn’t stop her. Her dream became to own a big workshop where she could teach others. Watch and see how Benta's dream has played out.
Covid-19 in Rural Kenya
Covid-19 has had (and continues to have) a devastating impact on those who cannot access work. In many parts of the developing world, questions like “How can I get medical attention?” are overshadowed by questions like, “Will I eat today?” This is the reality for many of the families of our students and because of this, Neema has shifted from development to relief efforts. Hear about these food deliveries from our Kenyan staff members, one of our students, and her mother.
Nancy & Selter’s Story
Nancy and Selter couldn't attend high school because they lived in extreme poverty. They worked hard to keep their marks high and were crushed when they had to drop out of school. Without a quality education, their future did not hold many opportunities. But because of your support, they've been able to change the trajectory of their lives.
We're celebrating every life changed because of Neema. 130 young women have learned new skills, found healing, and their testimonies have become stories of God’s love and redemption.
Hear directly from our in-country staff as we sit down with them to learn about the life-transformative and sometimes, very difficult, work being done at Neema.
