*Names have been changed and faces have been covered for privacy.

This month, we’re excited to share an update on two students whose lives are being shaped in meaningful ways through your generosity. Their stories remind us why your partnership matters so deeply to children facing significant challenges.

Layla: A Season of Guidance and Care*

Layla* has faced challenges accessing consistent schooling, but Hope Academy has given her a safe, encouraging space to learn and grow in her faith. She enjoys her classes, connects well with her teachers, and shows a sincere interest in learning more about Jesus.

Recently, she began attending a local church community that has been spiritually confusing for her. Our team has been walking closely with her and her family, encouraging, praying, and helping her stay grounded in truth during this season.

This month, your support provided:

✔️ A family care visit for encouragement and relationship building

✔️ Christian educational resources, helping her grow both academically and spiritually

Sami: Growing in Confidence and Faith*

Sami* and his siblings have faced barriers to enrolling in traditional schooling, but at Hope Academy, he is thriving. He participates eagerly, loves learning, and often impresses his teachers with how much he remembers from Bible lessons.

Spiritually, he has been growing beautifully - praying boldly, showing kindness, and developing confidence in who he is as a child loved by God.

Thanks to your donations, Sami received:

✔️ Ongoing educational support in a stable, Christ-centered environment

✔️ Regular follow-up and encouragement from staff

✔️ Resources that help him continue learning and flourishing
