JOHN ELIJAH, Age 19
John Elijah is from Fakore village, where school was always an uphill battle. He struggled to understand lessons, and harsh words from teachers made him feel like he couldn’t succeed. As a child, John had trouble speaking and walking—his mother remembers how many doubted he’d ever have a chance. Everything changed when Bramble came into his life. Today, John is proud that he can read, understand, and do simple math. He loves working with his hands and picking up new skills. The belief and encouragement from his mentors have made a world of difference. John dreams of becoming a technician, determined to prove—to himself and to others—that he can achieve great things. Your support gives kids like John hope, confidence, and the chance to truly shine.
