I thank God I was one of the lucky ones. I only took four months to master the work…I am currently running my dressmaking business.

I will do my part to give back to the community by training other vulnerable young and women since that is the only way I can appreciate what was done to me

GPA changes lives in Africa.  I’ve seen its positive impact first hand. I give because I know my gift is a wise investment in creating a sustainable future for our entrepreneurial grantees and their communities, and is not just a hand-out. I also give because GPA is an excellent steward of its resources, keeping overhead costs to a minimum, and relying on an amazing African Advisory Board to be our eyes, ears and mentors for those who receive our grants.
