The Transformational Impact
After I found out that I was pregnant, I felt really bad about myself. I thought I didn’t belong anywhere and had nobody to talk to because I hadn’t told my family that I was raped. My dad would yell at me every day and say hurtful words, which made me feel even worse. I was scared about my future as I lost hope in everything. But then, something good happened as DCF) reached out to me and gave me a chance to dream again. They helped me join a vocational training program (Kuza elevate) where I learned new skills.I started making beautiful custom designed products with a team of fellow teen mothers, and it made me happy. Not only does it help me earn money, but it also gives me the sense of belonging with people who understand me and love me.Working with my hands has given me a sense of purpose and changed how I saw the world. DCF’s support gave me the strength to move past my difficult past and look forward to a better future.Now, I feel stronger and more determined. I know I’m not defined by what happened to me. I’ve become resilient and hopeful about life. The friends I’ve made in the training program have been a great support. We’ve turned tough times into success together.I’ve learned that my journey is about strength, not shame. The things we make symbolize the beauty that has grown inside me. My wounds are healing, and I’m proud of who I am becoming.There may still be challenges ahead, but I face them with courage and determination. Aline, 18years
