Samson Mushabe, a bright 12-year-old, found hope at J. able Foundation after surviving Masaka's streets . He'd fled his home in the village, seeking a better life, but life on the streets was harsh. With no family, no school, and no food, Sam struggled to survive.
But at J. able Foundation, Sam found a new family . He's thriving with paper bead making, craft, and liquid soap making . The vibrant colors of tie-dye shirts, the sparkle of beads, and the satisfaction of creating something useful - it all brings Sam joy. He's made friends, found mentors, and loves outreaches with J. able.
Sam's mental health has improved too.
With counseling and support, he's overcoming trauma and anxiety . He's confident, smiling, and full of dreams. Sam longs to help more kids, just like him, who are struggling.
But there's a challenge. J. able Foundation needs a vehicle to reach more communities . "We wish our foundation had a vehicle," Sam says, "where we can access so many places. Because of lack of transport, there are places we cannot go to. But when we have a vehicle, we can access so many places and help so many people around and far away areas."
With a vehicle, J. able can reach rural villages, support more kids, and create more impact. Sam dreams of loading up the vehicle with craft supplies, soap-making kits, and smiles, heading out to empower more young lives.
At J. able, we're committed to supporting Sam and others. We need your help to:
- Get a vehicle for outreaches
- Expand craft and skills training
- Provide opportunities for kids to thrive
Sam's story shows kids can achieve big dreams with support .
