Misra* laces up her shoes. Today she isn’t just running — she is running for her life. The country where Misra lives is the most food-deficient country in East Africa. Her country is also considered the second worst for women’s rights in the world. That is why our local Unto® staff teams founded the Girls Running Club — to help meet the basic needs of girls and their families and introduce them to the eternal hope of Jesus. Just recently the club’s head coach met Misra for the first time at a local market. Misra lives with her mother and five siblings. Her father passed away, so her mother sells crepes at the market to help the family survive. After talking with the coach, Misra joined the Girls Running Club — and it has changed her life. Because of the faithful support of people like you, she now receives food to nourish her body and help her impoverished family. She has a pair of running shoes, along with basic hygiene items. She has the supplies and support she needs to stay in school. Several of the young women in the running club live in the local junkyard village. The meals, blankets, and clothing they receive are critical for their survival. Your support provides them with a safe environment to train and learn about God who gives them dignity and offers them hope. Many of the girls want to become leaders in their country, so they can help other families build a better future. Your gift to ship and distribute lifesaving supplies will make all the difference for girls like Misra and her teammates, providing for their physical needs and teaching them about God’s love and the plans He has for each of them. These girls are not just running. They are running for their life! *Name changed for security purposes. |
