Help Aisha Break Free and Build a Future of Independence
Aisha grew up believing she was cursed, not because of anything she did, but because that’s what her father always told her. He claimed that her own mother wanted nothing to do with her, and so Aisha never had the chance to meet her.
Her life took an even darker turn when her father remarried. Her stepmother controlled everything, forcing her father to stop paying her school fees when she was in Senior Two. As the eldest child, Aisha was expected to work as a house helper to bring in money for her younger siblings. With no other options, she obeyed. But life as a house helper came with its own hardships. On her second job, she got pregnant. With nowhere else to turn, she was forced to move in with the father of her child, only for him to abandon her before their baby was even born. Left with nothing, Aisha ended up at her mother-in-law’s home, where she is barely tolerated.
Now, at just 19 years old, Aisha is a mother to a three-month-old daughter and is trapped in a cycle of dependency and rejection. She once believed the words of her stepmother, that she was worthless, cursed to fail. But today, Aisha is ready to change her story.
She has hope. Given the opportunity to train in a skill, Aisha is determined to become financially independent, leave the place where she is not wanted, and build a secure future for herself and her son.
Will you help Aisha rewrite her future? Your support can give her the chance to learn a trade, earn a living, and prove that she is not defined by her past. Your kindness can break the cycle, will you be the one to give Aisha and her baby a fresh start?
