Dayle Haddon Instagram – Jackie and Sasha Gloria, two impressive girls in our program in Nanyuki at the #centerofworth I watched them grow and thrive. Ivfollowed their progress and am so impressed by all they have overcome to be the young women they are today!
Jackie was beaten daily by her stepmom and deprived of meals, without her father knowing as he was away working and she didn’t want him to worry. Not being able to take it anymore, one day she ran away with her little brother and ended up living on the streets at 8 years old. Often rounded up with other children by police, Jackie was thrown into jail and again beaten to stop them from returning to the streets. Dreaming of more, she found her way to our center and with our wonderful partner on the ground @thesimamaproject_
I’ve known Jackie since #what makesshe was 10 years old. Now at 19 she has e and became a leader once she had the opportunities! Without telling anyone, she applied for a MasterCard Scholarship in Rwanda and after 6 agonizing weeks, she found out she got into the Rwandan Leadership U over sort and leaves for there this weekend!! She has been spending her time teaching the other kids at the center and mentoring and inspiring them. Jackie is bright, energetic, resourceful and full of fun. We can’t wait to see what she does with this opportunity.
Sasha Gloria is another inspiring young woman. Charismatic and full of energy and solid dreams she has gone through so much. When she was beaten by her teacher for not having a new exercise book to write her lessons in ( her single Mom did not have the money) and thrown out of school, she was determined! She sat outside her class window and kept up with her class by following their lessons in secret through the window.
Both these girls inspire me to do more and to support through @women1one more wonderful girls like them who will make a difference in the world. It’s the opportunités they get that makes that difference.
