"Being given a chance to smile again by Empowering Lives International, I pray that God will help me develop my passion in Fashion and Design, so that when children and people in my community use my design line to walk around, it brings smiles on their faces knowing they are wonderfully and fearfully made by God."

Vincent N'gunzulu (IL-005)

"When I graduate with my engineering degree, I want to start an engineering company that employs so many people and serves as an example to all my brothers and sisters back at the homes but also my family members in the village."

Sarah Asimit (IL- 083)

"I would like to thank ELI for bringing me this far. God has been faithful all the way from 2004 till now and everything is working for my good. I would like to become a journalist and air the plight of people especially African children so that they can live in a just society full of equal opportunities that will make them smile again."

Dorcas Jebet (IL-025)

"ELI has taught me to be God fearing and hardworking in life and school. Through God’s help I will finish school then fulfill my dreams of becoming Community Development Worker and help my community with knowledge of establishing different projects and also support youth and children in their different talents."

Margaret Asinyen - (005)

"I am going to school to get my degree in Social Work and Community Development because I want to help others the way that ELI helped me. I am so thankful to ELI for all of their support and encouragement."
