Faith and her mum, Felista, were both born with a genetic condition that left them without hands or feet. Despite facing a lack of belief and rejection from some family members, they have made a habit of proving others wrong.
In spite of the challenges life has thrown her way, Faith has never let her disability define her. From a young age, she excelled in primary school, participated in sports, and created stunning artwork. Her mother, Felista, has always been an incredible role model, instilling in Faith a strong belief in herself. Felista works tirelessly on their farm, chops firewood, and would often walk to a nearby river to fetch water, carrying an 18-litre bottle back to their home.
Previously, the pair lived in a small, dilapidated wooden house that leaked when it rained. Thanks to the generosity of Faith’s education sponsors, Joanne and Andy, along with other supporters, we were able to build them a new home with access to clean water. We also provided sheep, goats, and chickens to help support their farming business. Today, Faith is thriving in secondary school, and her family’s farming business is flourishing, with Faith eagerly helping her mother whenever she’s not in class.
