GRADUATING SOON FROM SEWING SCHOOL

Asedare, Freda, Gloria and Francisca are four of our 8 soon-to-be graduates from our Women InSpirit Tailoring school in Bolgatanga, Ghana.

The GNTDA (Ghana National Tailors and Dressmakers Association) reports that our girls are doing a beautiful job, have learned well and are ready to graduate! We will be gearing up soon to get the final plans for graduation day in order. Thanks to all who have supported us financially and for those who continue to pray for the success of our mission. You are empowering these young women to become skilled tailors. Because of you, these gals will have a much brighter future than they could have imagined.

MEET SARAH

Sarah, 24, is now a beneficiary of one of Women InSpirit's scholarships. We met Sarah this summer when she waited on our table at the Ganass Hotel in Bolgatanga. Her co-worker spoke with us aside to tell us how hard working Sarah is and that she felt Sarah would be a great candidate for us. Sarah, an orphan since she was very small, is a waitress who has been saving for school as she works to also help feed her auntie who takes care of her. She is now a Freshman at St. John Bosco Teacher Training College in Navrongo studying to be a teacher of Home Economics. Sarah describes herself as "a very determined young lady who aspires to work hard to be successful in life, especially with experience with poverty and the struggle of women in my village. I grew up with my Auntie who struggles on daily basis to provide for our basic needs. I am determined to change the narrative."

AISHA HAS ENROLLED

Aisha (Ayishetu), 23, comes from a family of 6. Because her sickly father makes a low wage as an interpreter in court and her mother does menial work, Women InSpirit has offered to assist Aisha in continuing her studies. Like Sarah, she is enrolled as well at St. John Bosco College of Education in Navrongo, Ghana. There she is studying technology. Aisha says, "Education is of utmost importance to me, and I am determined to excel academically. I am deeply grateful for the work that your organization does to make education accessible to those in need. I promise to use this opportunity to excel academically and contribute positively to society in the future."

THELMA'S LIVING THE LIFE!

Thelma, our Student since undergraduate work at KNUST, is in her 2nd year of her Doctorate program now and looks forward to graduating in October 2025. She has been traveling with her new friends whenever she gets the chance. " I loved Portugal a lot. Especially their cuisines. I'm really grateful for my friends as well because I don't feel lonely in a foreign land."
