Dear Friend,

This time of year, as I see school buses returning to the roads, I’m reminded what a blessing it is that education is free and widely accessible in our country. But in many regions where Five Talents works, access to education is not a given, even though it is essential for escaping poverty. That’s why our programs begin with literacy and numeracy to prepare participants for saving, building businesses, counting change, and reading the Bible on their own.

Five Talents envisions a world where all families can afford to educate their children. Your support is already helping that vision become a reality and opening classroom doors for young people, demonstrated through the powerful story of Masiko. Masiko is a student from Karamoja who is breaking barriers—quite literally—and inspiring other girls in her community to follow their dreams. Click the button below to read her story.
