Joan’s life has been marked by resilience and God’s faithfulness. Growing up in deep poverty and frequent illness, she often missed school and watched her parents struggle to provide. Everything changed in 2013 when she received sponsorship through Gaba CDP—support she calls God’s intervention. This opened the door to consistent schooling, medical care, and a nurturing Christian community. Through devotions, Bible quizzes, and mentorship, Joan grew spiritually and personally. Transformational Leadership Training helped her overcome shyness, build friendships, and discover her confidence. Now, Joan dreams of pursuing a Social Sciences degree so she can uplift others the way she has been uplifted. She is prayerfully hoping for a sponsor to help her continue her education and step into her calling.
