Meet Pauline, 16

Illness took her younger siblings, and then her family left her behind.

Pauline is 16. She has already lost more than most people lose in a lifetime.

An illness swept through her family and took her younger siblings one by one. Pauline caught it too. Somehow, by God's grace, she survived. It left her slower to learn, but she can work, and she's ready for a chance.

She left school in fifth grade. Then her family walked away and left her with an elderly woman who has a disability and can barely care for herself.

Her mother heard what had happened and called the Geaux Foundation. She asked us to give her daughter a second chance.

Now Pauline has a place in our six-month live-in program. She'll live in a safe home, learn a trade, and hear about the love of Jesus. At graduation, she'll go home with her own sewing machine and a way to earn a living.

You can't change her past. You can change what happens next.

Meet Brenda, 17

Her parents left her with her grandmother as a baby and never came back.

Brenda is 17. When she was a baby, her parents left her at her grandmother's house and never came back. She still doesn't know where they are.

Her grandmother raised her alone. She was too old to work, so Brenda left school in third grade. Once, Brenda was almost married off. She stayed only because her grandmother needed her.

Her grandmother is 86 now. The two of them share a one-room house with a grass roof that is caving in. Brenda begs for food and takes odd jobs to keep them both alive.

A village leader saw how they were living and brought Brenda to the Geaux Foundation.

Now Brenda has a place in our six-month live-in program. She'll live in a safe home, learn a trade, and hear about the love of Jesus. At graduation, she'll go home with her own sewing machine and a way to earn a living.

Give her a way to provide for herself and her grandmother.

Meet Brina, 17

When her father died, relatives threw her family out and took their land.

Brina is 17. When her father died, relatives threw her and her sisters out of their home and took the family land.

An uncle gave the girls a one-room hut. When Brina was 10, he left too, and the girls were on their own. She had to quit school.

Later, the girls found their mother again. She fought to get them back in school, and Brina made it to ninth grade. Then the money ran out, and school ended a second time.

A kind woman introduced Brina to the Geaux Foundation.

Now Brina has a place in our six-month live-in program. She'll live in a safe home, learn a trade, and hear about the love of Jesus. At graduation, she'll go home with her own sewing machine and a way to earn a living.

Brina has started over twice. Help her make this time last.

Meet the Class

Meet Whitney, 17

Some days she and her mom go without food.

Whitney is 17. Her father left the family, and her older siblings moved away to find work. Now it's just Whitney and her mom.

She quit school at 10. Since then, the two of them have fetched water, worked in gardens, and taken any job they could find. Some days they still go without food.

Someone gave them an empty house to live in. It has no doors, no windows, and only part of a roof. When it rains, everything they own gets wet.

One day, while Whitney was going door to door looking for work, a woman told her about the Geaux Foundation.

Now Whitney has a place in our six-month live-in program. She'll live in a safe home, learn a trade, and hear about the love of Jesus. At graduation, she'll go home with her own sewing machine and a way to earn a living.

No girl should have to beg for her next meal.
