Get to know Emerithe


Get to know Emerithe… Emerithe’s favorite drink is Coka, and she loves beef brochette and chips (fries) Emerithe’s family was a sponsored family before she joined the GFR staff. She has four children and it was a bit difficult for her to sustain her family alone without a husband. The oldest is a daughter of 14 years, she is in secondary 1 (freshman). The second is also a girl of 12 years old and she is in primary 4. The third is 8 years old and she is in primary 2 and finally the fourth who is 6 years in nursery. She used to be part of the Morey Corporation block of sponsored families. She later wrote a note to the GFR President; asking if she could have a job so she could be independent, leaving the sponsorship to someone else who would be considered. She was a teacher before. The local government had helped her with a house but is not completed and she is trying to put cement on the walls inside, the floor, and add more room because the house seems to be very small for them. The roof leaks on one side. Emerithe is one of GFR’s caseworkers. She is proud of GFR and how it helps the poor. She thanks The Morey Corporation for sponsoring many of her neighbors. Emerithe loves to see the wonderful changes in her neighbor’s lives, and the lives of the families she works with each day. She started her work at GFR right after her first born won the national exam. She did not know how to get school fees for her. Now she doesn’t have to worry. Please pray for her to have wisdom as she raises 4 kids alone. She thanks God she got a job with GFR! She is proud of GFR in so many ways and she thanks the President and the donors for all their support. May God bless them all. Thank you Emerithe for you love for your family and your neighbors.
