Testimony.
This is Mwambarangwe Angelique, a mother of three children, including one adopted child. The adopted child lost her father, who was killed by her mother, and now the mother is in prison.
Angelique came to know the child through us when we were looking for a family to take her in, as the child had no family due to her mother’s imprisonment and her father’s death. Despite their own financial struggles, where they could only afford one meal a day, Angelique and her husband decided to accept the child into their family after hearing her story, which touched them deeply.
After Angelique’s family accepted the child, we decided to enroll her in our organization because we needed a home where we could support this child.
We began providing them with monthly food, took the child back to school, covered her school fees and other necessary materials, and enrolled Angelique in our life skills program. Through this program, she has learned sewing, basket weaving, and other practical skills. She is now able to produce beautiful sewing products like dresses, skirts, and shirts, and she can also weave stunning baskets.
Before, Angelique could not imagine or believe that anyone would help her with food or teach her new skills, as life was so tough and she had never received such support. She was amazed to find that helping change people’s lives is what we truly love to do.
Now, her family life has greatly improved. She is able to pay rent and provide for the basic needs of her family.
She is also enrolled in our literacy program, designed for the parents of former street children supported by our organization. She is now able to introduce herself and greet people in English, which is a big and positive step in her life—something she never expected.
The adopted child is studying happily, and her performance at school is promising. Empower The Future is taking care of everything she needs to study.
