Empower a student's future through sponsorship; transform lives with education and hope.
My name is Iddrisu Yaya, and I am 16 years old. I came from a Muslim background and only became a faithful Christian when my little sister and I joined D1:8 in 2018. In that same year, my father died and we were left to be catered for by our mother alone. We are in financial difficulties partly because other family members are not willing to support us due to our conversion to Christianity. Also, my mother only does menial jobs to help us. Currently, I am in the first year of senior high school.
I really need you to support me to go through thesyearly support of five hundred dollars ($500) will help me three years of learning and also some basic livelihood necessities. I believe a support of five hundred dollars ($500) every year will help support myself through school and upkeep. I hope and pray that the Lord touches your heart to help me.
My name is Grace Tiwaa and i am 15 years of age. I am a member of the Mayfair chapter of D1:8. I stay in sunyani and live all by myself at the moment. My parents had to relocate to the Ashanti region to look for work due to the extreme hardship at home. My other 2 siblings are also living with other family members in a different town. I have always seen my mother working so hard and struggling to put food on the table and clothes on our back and that hurts me so much. Currently I am about entering senior high school but I am not sure how I am going to go through due to financial reasons.
I will need help to start and complete my senior high study and so I plead to be assisted. I I know that the ministry operates on the help and support of kind and God-fearing people like you. With a yearly support of five hundred dollars ($500), I can go to school each year for the 3 terms and also support my upkeep.
My name is Eric Kpoedoun and I am 22 years. I am a peer mentor in D1:8 and soon to be an Adult counselor for the ministry. I am currently studying civil engineering at the university in Kumasi, and I am also the head of media for D1:8. I was raised singlehandedly by my mother because I had an absentee father who has not been in my life since my conception. I have had a very tough childhood with my siblings (who belong to a different father), and my mother (who is my hero) has had a tough life raising us. D1:8 has been paying my fees every year and also giving me an allowance for my work done in the media department.
I still need your sponsorship to complete my final year of schooling. With about one thousand dollars ($1,000), my tuition, accommodation, and project work should be covered for my completing year. Please help me to complete so that I can also support my mother and siblings.
I am Alina , and I am 13 years old. My brother, Yaya, and I joined D1:8 in 2018 after an outreach event by the ministry in our community, and I eventually became a Christian. My father died towards the end of the same year, leaving our mother to be our sole caretaker. Even feeding in the home sometimes is a struggle for my family, and this almost pushed me into a promiscuous lifestyle just to get the basic necessities of life. The teachings of D1:8 are helping me to stay on track, but the financial constraints at home are making life challenging for me. I am currently in Junior High School level 3, and I believe that with a monthly support of one hundred dollars ($100), my educational supplies and upkeep can be taken care of.
God richly bless you for your ongoing support of D1:8.
My name is Felicia Beyuo and I am 40 years old. Unfortunately I am a sickle cell patient who got marriage at an early age due to financial constraints and the early death of my father. I am blessed to be a mother of four (4) but the oldest also has sickle cell disease that has affected his leg bone. Because my education al level was only up to primary 5, I want to be able to support my husband who is only a subsistence farmer and a casual painter to make sure our children go far with their education.
Being in fashion(sewing) has been my desire for a long time. I wanted to produce clothing’s for others but due to our financial weakness and the deteriorating health of our oldest son, I had to put that dream aside.
Hearing of The Potter's Workshop of Daniel 1:8 ministries from my husband, I was so happy to know there is still hope for me to achieve my dreams.
I really need your help even though I know I am above the ministries' acceptable age for the program but I believe it is God's appointed timing for me to get the needed help. I really want to help my husband with the hospital bills and house upkeep.
Learning this skill will do us a lot of good. Even though I would love to see others in clothes that I have made, my greatest aim is to help my family especially my son who is constantly in pain.
My name is Benjamin Sedo, and I am 13 years old. I joined D1:8 when I was just 5 years old, and I look forward to the day that I become a mentor in the ministry like my brother Eric. People say I do not look my age, and that is true because a lack of proper nutrition at home is making me lose body fat. Most often, I go to school on an empty stomach, and there are days when we only eat very little at home. I know I am intelligent, and I also want to pass and go to the university like my big brother is studying civil engineering.
I believe with a monthly support of one hundred dollars ($100), my school supplies and upkeep can be catered for. God bless you in advance for supporting me and also Daniel 1:8 Ministries.
A big need for D1:8 is the proper bathroom facilities that ensure the health for the children, staff, and visitors. For many years now, the school has lacked a sanitary option for a toilet, having to use a wooden structure with a dug hole sited on the compound. This set-up has made it uncomfortable and sometimes even impossible to easily breathe clean air at the site. It is extremely necessary to have well-built, cleaner bathroom facilities at the center to prevent our kids and visitors from getting sick.
A need for our ministry that is becoming increasingly more urgent is a better mode of transportation for one of our ministry leaders, Ernest.
Ernest is currently living at our center, but our goal is to help him move closer to the communities/schools that he’s trying to reach, which will require a bigger, more reliable method of getting around. Ernest is currently using a very old, unreliable bicycle that is getting harder and harder to maintain. The bicycle just isn’t cutting it for the amount of distances he needs to travel for his work with the ministry, which is why we want to raise the funds in order to upgrade his transportation.
Not only is the bicycle not running properly, but it makes it challenging for Ernest to travel with books and other materials that are needed for his outreaches. With your help, we want to give Ernest a 3-wheel motorbike that would be more than efficient for getting him and his belongings around. With current regulations for gatherings, gathering outside is ideal. That will be made possible with a motorbike that can carry weight on the back for transporting folding chairs. Please consider supporting this; with your generosity, we could cover the cost of the motorbike ($1,800) and license it for the ministry.
