Impact

”I grew up in a village where educating a girl was considered a waste of resources, so I was denied the chance to go to school. I joined the ALEF group with high expectations and I am grateful that I have not been disappointed so far. From learning to hold a pencil, to learning sounds and how to write them, slowly but surely I have learned to write my own name, and have learned to socialize through group meetings. I was inspired to start a small restaurant business where I cook lunch meals for my clients. I am not completely dependent on my husband anymore. But most of all I am grateful that I can sit down and do homework with my daughter, something I never could before, and my daughter is happy that I can help her so she does not have to go to the neighbors for help. I am so grateful for the ALEF group and hope to learn more in the future.”
