“My name is Philomene and for most of my life, getting water was a heavy burden. I used to walk two hours to Nguekere Spring to collect water. The weight of the containers on my head was exhausting. This year, God answered my prayers and everything changed. A water store was built just five minutes from my home. The long walks are over and my grandchildren are no longer getting sick from drinking unsafe water. I am so grateful!”

“My name is Halima Oumar and I am 32. I have six children. Unfortunately, I never had the opportunity to attend school. We are forced to walk to the ponds or neighboring villages to get water because our water source was broken. Neverthirst not only helped us construct a water tower, but they also helped us organize a committee to maintain it. established a Water User Committee, something we’d never had before. In the past, we did not manage our water source well, mistakenly believing that someone else would repair it if it needed fixing. We have learned from this mistake. Today, we are profoundly grateful, this invaluable support has transformed our lives.”

When Giftiana’s husband died unexpectedly, she was left alone with four children and no financial security. Giftiana said, “When he passed, I had no idea how I would take care of my children on my own. I could barely cover our basic needs, let alone school fees. Every day felt like survival. Then, a Village Agent from Plant With Purpose approached me with an opportunity to join a Purpose Group. She told me I could save money, get loans, and learn business skills. That conversation changed everything. I saw it as a chance to fill my husband’s role and secure my children’s future.” After eight months in the Purpose Group, she took her first loan to expand her banana business. When she successfully repaid it, she applied for another to pay for her children’s school fees. She then started selling avocados and helping other farmers bring their produce to market. With her additional earnings, she rebuilt their home, expanded her business, bought a motorcycle business and invested in a heifer for dairy production. Giftiana said, “My journey was not easy, but God was always with me. Through hard work, I built a better life. My children are in school, my businesses sustain us, and I have a home I’m proud of.”

Earlier this year, one of the church planting coordinators being trained by TEA, Mohammed, met Ashraful while searching for people of peace in his village outside of Dhaka.

Mohammed gave Ashraful a Bible and invited him to start a Bible study with his friends, encouraging him with the verse, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." (John 8:32) Ashraful began following Jesus and being discipled by Mohammed. Now, Ashraful is training other believers how to share their story and start Bible studies.
