Women with no Hope



Being one of those women whom in life knew that there was no tomorrow, no bright future and what have you. What I am trying to say is that, some of us should know that they are not alone and each of us knows our individual background.



With all these in mine I was isolating myself from the society and feeling inferior in the society and just being myself. The day I got up and said to myself, all is not lost, I decided to go out and look for a job. 



A year after the socio political issues in my country started and behold there were calamities that happening in my communities such as rape, killing of children, killing of young girls and boys, women etc.



There after, the pandemic came inn and I lost my job. I cried for three continues days without eating, and with a lot of taught in my mine. After those days I asked myself why am crying when at my job site I saw people who didn't have something to eat, clothes to wear, and could not afford a daily bread for themselves ( vulnerable, needys), some with no hands, no legs ( disabilities) and I am hear lamenting when I have all these features.



When I had these taught, I wiped my tears. After that in heard the voice my mind telling me, why not go out  and see how you can help others. I stood and didn't know how to start or go about it. One day I got up and  went to my cousin who is a pastor(Victor) since I didn't know who to seek for advice and there I explained everything to him. He told me that, the reason you were send away was because God wants to use you to serve your community and your people. I then asked him, all alone with no support? He said to me, he has a reason for choosing you and He knows you will do it. I just responded okay and left.



Since I started the community work, I have been working from one area to another. 



When I heard about world pulse and her activities I didn't hesitate, immediately I joined the sister hood though so tied after the field work, that same day I read through some sisters write up and some encouraging and inspiring works. I was like waoh what a wonderful place to be. My greatest happiness was because I saw a place were I will learn more, feel at home, and a place were my voice will be heard and my broken heart will be up lifted.



Belonging to the sister hood, is not a mistake and its not just belonging but many other things and activities are being carried on there such as encouraging, inspiring, motivating, funding and opportunities and what have you. 



While in the sister hood, I have learned a lot especially morals and self confidentiality, and also meeting new friends and this has made me to come out of my shell.



Further more these has enabled me to increase my volume of work by linking so many young pregnant mothers to attend their Anti natal care(ANC) as early as possible. I also talk to them about the advantages of early ANC and the disadvantages of late ANC.



In addition to that I always advise them to go for family planning to prevent another occurrence in the future, because most of them are very young, school drop out, and the worse of it is ignorance, especially in remote areas where there is no means of going to school. Most of these young girls become pregnant because of rape, sexual harassment. So education and awareness is one of the best ways to make them understand more better to avoid further damage.



With this family, I will always love, cherish them and their activities and showing my appreciation to the sisters through a song.



                 Song



One day I was hopeless and restless, thinking about no body cares,



For somebody came touch me telling me about misery and shame hey, hey, hey(2x)



Now I am happy hey, hey, hey (2x)



For I have meet you oh, oh,



You taught me how, how, how how, how.



To live by faith hey, hey, hey,hey.
