WILLS POINT, TX – Discover how one girl’s life, shattered by an earthquake and poverty, was rebuilt through the hope of GFA World’s child sponsorship program.
In an instant, one catastrophe can completely redirect a life’s trajectory. For Abekwa, that happened the day her village quivered on its perch atop a vista of sharply angled green and brown slopes. The Himalayan foothills reeled and rumbled, earth stampeding down steep hillsides, flattening homes and taking lives. When the earthquake stilled, Abekwa and her family stood and beheld a new landscape: Their village lay flat. Abekwa’s family already lived in poverty. Now, with their home destroyed and their village leveled, what would they do?
Pushed to the Brink of Giving Up
Abekwa’s parents struggled to provide for Abekwa and her three younger siblings. Illiterate themselves, Abekwa’s parents couldn’t help their children with school, and the kids struggled to learn. When the earthquake devastated their village, including the public elementary school the children attended, Abekwa and her family lost the little they had. They couldn’t even find food to eat.
