5. Naomi, now a graduate from Neema, grew up in extreme poverty. She had to drop out of school because of her teenage pregnancy. Despite immense tragedy and loss in her life, Naomi has persevered! She now says, "Neema changed my perspective of life. Having dropped out of school due to early pregnancy, I thought life had come to an end since I was struggling to raise my child. But through counseling at Neema I accepted myself and gained hope again. I learned how to read the Bible and pray. I can even teach my children the word of God. When I came to Neema, I used to do manual work for us to eat. But after gaining skills at Neema, I started my business which has helped me to provide for my family."

It is all I prayed for. I will use the opportunity God has given me.”
