TESTIMONIALS

What people say about us

Before Asmara, my daughter couldn't attend school because we couldn't afford supplies. Now she's top of her class and dreams of becoming a doctor. This center gave her back her future.

Mama Neema Parent

I lost my parents at 10 and thought my life was over. Asmara became my family—they fed me, sent me to school, and taught me tailoring. Today, I own a small shop and employ two others!

Jamal Former Orphan & Vocational Graduate

In 5 years, we've seen fewer child marriages, more girls in school, and healthier families—all because of Asmara's work. They don’t just help children; they strengthen our entire village
