Children's Success Stories

11 Years Old

During covid, many families have no food. My mother decided to sell me off for marriage to a 45 yr—old man. For two months, I stayed in his house as his wife.

During this time, children in the Great Child class were meeting and did not see me. They decided to look for me, and elders in the village found out. They told the chief of the area who went to my mum's house.

The children found me at the man's house and took me to my mum's. The children and the chief talked to her. Now I am not married and am back at school. I am among the few who sat for national exams in my grade. I would like to be a human rights defender, especially for girls' rights.

10 Years Old

I lived with my grandmother. Life was very tough. We had little food. My uncle, who lived with us, was very cruel and hit me a lot. One night, he hit me so many times, I had injuries on my face, back, and hands. I wanted to die. I planned my death well and knew how to execute it. Then a friend talked about a life-changing class for children. I delayed my death and tried the talked the program. I attended three Great Child classes, out of which I found a new reason to live and a purpose in life. My life has taken a new twist, and I am focused. I feel happy about myself, and people who hurt me don't play a role in my life, unlike before, where every little thing would break my heart. I want to recommend more children to this program because it is the reason I live today.

12 Years Old

My caregiver planed for a traditional female genital cut in me. I was afraid and sad, knowing what was awaiting me. I shared the sad news with my best friend. She reminded me to look at myself and recognize how great I am.

I remember our previous Great Child classes, and those children gave me wonderful comments about how brave, strong, and caring I am.

My friend and I went to a children's officer to report my case. On our way, two other members from Great Child joined us. The officer was good. He wrote a lot on paper and called my caregiver. My caregiver promised not to take me for a cut.

I am happy that children in the Great Child club had taught me to stand up for myself and others and to defend my rights and the rights of other children. Because of my story, many children come to me for advice. They share their stories. I help them but also send them to join the Great Child class. I feel like I am a champion for children.
